Robert Wade Takes Own Life in Casper

Robert Wade, 39, former Lusk resident, died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in Casper Friday.

His wife called Casper police and said her husband had called her at her job saying he intended to take his own life. Mrs. Wade said she then heard a gunshot and called the police.

Police found Wade's body on the living room couch next to a table where the phone was off the hook. He had been shot in the mouth with a .22 caliber revolver.

Mrs. Wade said Wade had been despondent over business failures. He owned a single truck and was in the trucking business.
