CHAMBERS COUNTY, Texas (TCD) -- A 48-year-old woman was recently indicted after her husband reportedly died of a "suspicious illness."
According to a news release from the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office, on Jan. 7 at approximately 6:30 p.m., deputies responded to Baytown Houston Methodist Hospital after a patient, Joseph Hartsfield, was transported there via ambulance.
