Coroner Carolyn Green says 23 year old Carol Sharp died Sunday at the North Mississippi Medical Center from the gunshots.  James Sharp is currently held on an aggravated domestic assault charge because his wife was still alive when he was taken into custody but those charges are slated to be upgraded.
