Crystal Mangum was arrested for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend, Reginald Daye, earlier this month. CBS News reports that Daye, 46, died Wednesday evening.

Police said Mangum (who was first in the headlines for her 2006 claim that three players on the Duke lacrosse team had trapped her inside a bathroom at a home where she was performing as a stripper and raped and sexually assaulted her) stabbed Daye in the torso with a kitchen knife during a dispute on April 3.

She was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury, and was being held in the Durham County jail on a $300,000 bond.

The case remains under investigation, but it's now anticipated that the charges will be upgraded in light of Daye's death.
