A 37-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after his wife was found dead inside a Plano home during a welfare check, police said.
Plano police officers were called about 10:23 a.m. to the 4700 block of Charles Place after someone reported possible family violence and said they had been unable to reach the woman, later identified as Eliana Bigoni, 34.
When officers arrived, they found Bigoni dead inside the residence, police said.
Her husband was arrested at the scene on a charge of abuse of a corpse without authorization and taken to the Plano city jail.
As of Thursday, he remains in jail with an added murder charge. The bail amount has not been set.
Authorities did not disclose Bigoni’s cause of death or what led investigators to file charges against her husband.
The department’s crimes against persons unit is investigating.
