An 82 year old man charged with murdering his stepson won't go to trial. He died on Monday.
Henry County officials say George Collins Carter of Axton died of natural causes at Martinsville Memorial Hospital.
Carter was arrested last month after his stepson, William Jacob Wilson, died of a gunshot to the stomach.
Authorities said at the time that Wilson was trying to stop an argument between Carter and his mother.

In the warehouse where Scott Peterson kept his boat, Modesto Police
detectives testified they found a single cement anchor...but cement
residue suggesting Peterson had created as many as four more anchors.
SUPER: MICHAEL CARDOZA, DEFENSE ADVOCATE
Where did all those other anchors go? What were they used for? The
logical explanation appears to be that they were tied to the arms and
legs of laci, and that's what the district attorney wants to the jury to
glean from that.
The DA's theory is that Peterson dumped the body of his wife Laci into
San Francisco Bay where it washed up four months later.
A month after Laci's disappearance, Gloria Gomez of KOVR-TV asked
Peterson what the cement was for.
SUPER: KOVR-TV - JANUARY 29, 2003
SCOTT PETERSON: sure well. I can take you out in the backyard and show
you all the cement work and brick work that we have done to this home.
But he didn't explain why there was cement at his warehouse.
SUPER: ROBERT TALBOT, LAW PROFESSOR
It leads you that there was a way to dispose of the body that was
within Scott Peterson's control. It doesn't necessarily mean that he
used that way or that's what he did, but it's there.
Jurors were also shown two pieces of hair believed to be Laci's found in
pliers in Scott's boat.
STANDUP
While the hair and the cement residue may not seem like much they have a
particular significance: they are among the few pieces of tangible
evidence in a case that is almost entirely circumstantial.
