Man Kills Estranged Wife, Then Himself

A 70-year-old Laguna Beach man shot his estranged wife to death and then killed himself, authorities reported Sunday.

Police found the bodies of Glenn and Mendie Stuart, 69, in a bedroom of his South Laguna home Saturday evening. She had been shot three times in the upper body and he had two gunshot wounds to the head, police said.

Mendie Stuart, who was living with her daughter, went to her estranged husband’s home Saturday afternoon to pick up her mail, police said. When Mendie Stuart didn’t return home within a few hours, her daughter called police and asked them to check on her mother.

Police Sgt. Bob Rahaeuser said the couple had filed for divorce.
