27-year-old Stephanie Chaipis died on Friday, five days after she was hospitalized for life-threatening injuries, according to the Tacoma Police Department.

On Jan. 10, authorities responded to a call about an unresponsive woman.

Upon arrival, emergency personnel were told that the woman had been in a physical dispute with the father of her children, police said.

Chaipis' husband, Ian Sweeney, was arrested on the scene. He was charged with assault in the first degree and attempted murder in the second degree with a domestic violence enhancement, according to online jail records.
In court documents obtained by KOMO, the prosecution claimed the 31-year-old told police he had beaten his wife and shoved her against a wall after taking methamphetamine that day.

Sweeney then noticed that his wife looked unwell, so he searched online for information about side effects of head trauma, prosecutors said in the charging papers.

Officials claimed Sweeney called 911 when he noticed that Chaipis had stopped breathing.

According to court documents, doctors discovered that Chaipis was about eight weeks pregnant when she was admitted to the hospital, according to KOMO.

Chaipis was reportedly put on life support after suffering a possible skull fracture.

A father in Washington State pleaded guilty to beating his pregnant wife to death. Ian Sweeney, 32, was sentenced to 16 years and five months in prison for killing Stephanie Chaipis, 27.
According to the cops, Sweeney said he took meth twice on Jan. 10, 2021 — once at around 1:00 a.m. and again at sometime around 9:00 or 9:30 a.m. At about 10:00 or 11:00 a.m., he started questioning Chaipis’s “devotion and commitment” to him. The couple began to argue. Their four children, ages 1 to 8, were in the home when Sweeney shoved Chaipis into a wall. She hit her head, and he then repeatedly slapped her and bloodied her nose, the defendant admitted.
“During this time, Chaipis began to pull back and ‘cover up’ from SWEENY,” authorities said. “SWEENEY confirmed that Chaipis never struck him back. During this time their four children were downstairs in the living room. Their only son entered the bedroom at one point and according to SWEENEY saw ‘me hitting her.'”
According to cops, Sweeney admitted punching Chaipis on her chest, arms, thigh, and knees.

“A lot,” he said, when asked how many times he struck Chaipis. She was eight weeks pregnant.
Sweeney said he told his children that he was in trouble that he would be going to “adult time out.” He said he initially did not seek medical attention for Chaipis because she began to talk more and seemed more alert, but she began to “deteriorate again” by 6:00 p.m. She then apparently laid down and stopped breathing.
Sweeney originally faced charges of assault in the first degree and attempted murder in the second degree with a domestic violence enhancement because Chaipis initially survived, although a doctor said she was brain dead, had sustained head trauma, and had a possible skull fracture. Chaipis languished on life support for a week before dying. Prosecutors upgraded the second charge to murder in the second degree after Chaipis’s death.
