Coroner: Ex-SC deputy killed wife, then himself
By: The Associated Press//November 21, 2014
COWPENS (AP) — Authorities say a retired Spartanburg deputy shot his wife to death, then turned the gun on himself.
The Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office told local media outlets Thursday of his ruling in the deaths of 68-year-old Rex Miguel Scott and 44-year-old Lisa Kay James.
The couple was found inside their Cowpens home on Tuesday afternoon. Deputies had been sent to the home to do a welfare check and found the bodies.
Authorities say both died from gunshot wounds to the head.
Sheriff Chuck Wright was friends with Scott and had been the best man at Scott’s recent wedding.
