WILKINS TOWNSHIP (KDKA) - A man wanted in connection with a fatal stabbing died Sunday after shooting himself in the chest.
According to the medical examiner, William Arrington, 36, died around 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
Arrington was accused in the death of his girlfriend, 32-year-old Delicious Jones.
Her body was found in a wooded area across the street from her home on McMasters Avenue around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.
Initially, police said she was severely beaten and had a gash on her head. However, an autopsy report showed she was stabbed multiple times in her head, neck and body.
