Floyd Mowery

Suicide

Township police officer Diane Fisher said Mowery told his wife and daughter via telephone that he might commit suicide by morning. Fisher went to the home to check on Mowery's welfare, but there was no answer. She contacted Mowery's wife, who told the officer she again spoke with Mowery. He threatened to burn the home and kill anyone who entered it. After a five-hour standoff, police found Mowery's dead body in the house.
