A Naperville man, accused of beating his wife to death, has been found guilty of first-degree murder, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office announced in a news release on Wednesday.

61-year-old Alan Wang was found guilty in the 2020 death of his wife, 35-year-old Hongyan Yang, following a four-day trial, which ended on Sept. 12.

On March 8, 2020, shortly before 5 p.m., paramedics responded to a call at the couple’s home “regarding a female who was not breathing,” according to the news release. The individual, Hongyan, was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

An autopsy by the DuPage County Coroner’s Office determined that she died as a result of blunt force trauma due to assault.
