This was on the news, they said he had inflammation of the pancreas and was on a ventilator. They were divorcing.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A woman is charged with first-degree murder after she walked into CAMC Memorial Hospital Saturday and allegedly shot her estranged husband dead in the third-floor intensive care unit.
Police say Rhonda Kay Stewart, 53, of Elkview walked into her husband's room with a handgun and shot him in the head sometime before 2 p.m.
Sammy Lee Stewart was pronounced dead around 2:30 p.m., said Detective Autumn Davis with the Charleston Police Criminal Investigation Division.
According to a criminal complaint, Rhonda Stewart went to visit her husband Saturday. An argument broke out, and hospital staff asked Stewart to leave.
A short time later, she went back to the hospital, entered his room and shot him, the complaint said.
Then she walked out of the room and handed the pistol to a doctor.
Police arrested Rhonda Stewart within minutes of the shooting. They led her away from the hospital in handcuffs.
Police said she waived her Miranda rights and admitted to shooting her husband.
Davis said investigators had not pinpointed a motive for the killing as of Saturday afternoon.
Stewart was questioned for about four hours at Charleston Police headquarters. Then, police led her in handcuffs across the street to Magistrate Court to be arraigned.
She covered her face with tissues and was crying uncontrollably.
"I'm so sorry," she said to reporters. "Oh God, oh God, oh God."
As of Saturday night, Stewart was being held at South Central Regional Jail in Charleston without bail.

From what was said in the article, I'm wondering if the argument was over should she or should she not 'put him out of his misery'. I mean, if she really 'hated' him, a slow, lingering death would have been just what she'd be looking for...right?

I thought about that too Cap. They ran more of the story today on the news, they were divorcing and had their house up for sale. They showed it on the news, really beautiful nice brick home. It will all come out in the end and I am sure it will all be on the news.

Divorcing can be a 'tactic' married people can use to get their debts 'cleared up'. I can't remember it all right now, but I had 'considered' it a long way back myself. Married, she would not be eligible for government aid(food stamps, child care, AFDC); divorced, she would be. Divorced, they would not be able to evict her(and the kids) from the house(in some States). All the bills would be consolidated into one monthly note, which would be much easier to manage. Divorced his medical bills would *not* be placed on her shoulders. No, divorcing does not mean they didn't still love each other.
