Leo Aguillard Death Occurs In Opelousas

OPELOUSAS,  March 26 – Leo Aguillard, 40 years of Eunice, shot and 
killed himself early Monday morning by firing a charge from a double 
barrel shotgun over the heart, Deputy Arthur Richard of this city 
reported.  Mr. Richard and Dr. George Azar, coroner, investigated, 
but no inquest was necessary.

According to Richard, Mr. Aguillard left his home about 5:30 o’clock 
and walked approximately one block; sat on the sidewalk, removed his 
shoes; and pulled the trigger of the gun with his toes.  No reason for 
his act could be given, but his wife said he had been feeling badly for 
the past two weeks and had an appointment yesterday with a physician 
in Ville Platte.

Funeral services will be held in Eunice.  The deceased is survived by 
his wife and two daughters.
