CHELSEA, Mass.—Police are investigating the death of a 50-year-old woman whose body was found in the driveway of a home in Chelsea a day after her husband was accused of assaulting her.

Authorities say the medical examiner is expected to determine the cause and manner of death of 50-year-old Theresa Kenna Wilkes. Her body was discovered by a passerby on Maverick Street at about 6 a.m. on Tuesday.

Her husband, Frederick Wilkes, has been charged with assault and battery for allegedly striking her inside their home Monday night. He is not charged with her killing and no arrests have been made.
