St. Paul Man Jailed After Wife Dies From Fall

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A husband is reportedly jailed in his wife's suspicious death a little more than a week ago.

Ramsey County Jail records show that Yang Thao, 47 of St. Paul, was arrested Monday night on suspicion of murder. Paramedics got a call that a 41-year-old woman had fallen inside her home on the 700 block of Rose Avenue in St. Paul on May 12.

The woman suffered a head injury and died three days later. Thao has not been formally charged, but was taken into custody at St. Paul police headquarters.

The case remains under investigation.
