A 76-year-old Marshfield man charged with manslaughter in the death of his 79-year-old wife in September 2022 has been ruled incompetent to stand trial in the case. 

Instead, a judge dismissed all charges against the man accused in the case — Charles Harmon — and ordered him placed in the custody of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. Harmon had been free on $2,000 with a bail condition of no contact with a specific family member.
