MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Dane County trial of a man accused of killing his autistic half-brother remains on hold while the defendant undergoes medical tests.

Thirty-year-old Jeffrey Vogelsberg is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the 2012 death of 27-year-old Matthew Granville. Vogelsberg is also accused of burying Granville’s body and intimating a witness, his grandfather.

Vogelsberg’s trial has been on hold since Thursday when he was taken by ambulance to University Hospital. Authorities said results of a medical test taken earlier showed a potentially serious health concern.

The State Journal reports Judge Julie Genovese said Monday she has not been told details of his medical condition, but that doctors want the defendant to remain in the hospital for further tests.
