Unusual charge filed in case of death by own action
Investigators said there were no messages telling the woman not to kill herself. Surveillance showed Williams arriving at the home at 4 27 a.m. She stayed in her car until 9 a.m. when she went inside and called 911. A Jones County official said the “assisting death by own action” charge is uncommon and not previously filed in the counties involved. Williams, arrested Dec 3, is held on 10 000 bail. The report notes crisis resources are available 24/7 including 988, crisis text lines, and Iowa hotlines.
