Mystery Surrounds Death of Oscar-Winner’s Daughter and Husband Found in Running Car
On June 15, California Highway Patrol officers found Judith Sheldon, 84, daughter of Oscar-winning director William Wyler, and her husband Wylie Sheldon, 86, unresponsive inside a red Jeep Compass on the shoulder of Interstate 5 near Redding. Emergency responders pronounced both dead at the scene despite efforts to save them. Authorities are investigating the cause of death. Early reports suggest a medical issue, while some speculate that triple-digit temperatures under an extreme heat warning may have been a factor. The highway patrol has not confirmed any link to the heat. Judith Sheldon was a well-known San Francisco arts patron. She co-chaired a gala for San Francisco Performances and served as board chair of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Festival organizers described her and Wylie as deeply supportive and cherished members of the film community.
