Two Dead In Rural Texas

"FROST, TX - A Frost area couple is dead, the result of what sheriff’s investigators believe is a homicide/suicide.

"Navarro County Sheriff Les Cotten said Scotty Mundie, 48, and his wife, Sheila, 46, were found dead at their home on NWCR 3323 shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday by the couple’s son, Brandon Mundie.

"Cotten said the couple had gone to a grandchild’s birthday party in Kemp on Saturday, where Scotty Mundie had become intoxicated and left the party with his wife to return to Frost. Neighbors told investigators they had heard two gunshots in near the couple’s home about 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

"Brandon Mundie went to his parents’ home Sunday afternoon and discovered his mother’s body laying on a bed. Scotty Mundie’s body was found near the bed, leaning against a wall. Brandon Mundie called sheriff’s deputies after making the discovery, Cotten said.

"Investigators believe that Scotty Mundie shot his wife, then shot himself, the sheriff said."
