A Vermont man has died while awaiting trial on charges of killing his mother at sea.

Nathan Carman, 29, was accused of the first-degree murder of his mother Linda Carman during a 2016 boating trip in what prosecutors have said was a scheme to inherit millions of dollars.

Carman pleaded not guilty last year to fraud and first-degree murder in the death of his mother. He had been due to go on trial in October.
