  • On February 2, 2021, Daniel Howard called 911 to report that his soon-to-be-ex-wife Kendy had shot herself. Howard told 911 dispatchers that he found Kendy in the bathtub with a gunshot wound in her mouth. Earlier that day, Kendy had gotten her nails done and she was in the midst of scheduling appointments to start a “body transformation.” She just moved into a new home in Kamiah, Idaho, and according to her friends, she was excited about starting a new job after being transferred to a different location. So why would Kendy Howard kill herself? A better question might be: did Kendy Howard commit suicide?
