Country singer Gary Stewart dies
By staff and wire report
December 16, 2003

FORT PIERCE — Country music singer and songwriter Gary Stewart was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the neck in his home Tuesday morning, police said.

Stewart's daughter's boyfriend found Stewart, 59, lying in his bed shortly before noon. No foul play is suspected, according to a police department press release. He was last seen by relatives on Sunday.

A native of Lechter County, Kentucky, Stewart has been called a compelling songwriter and performer of guitar-driven honky tonk country. His last album was released this year, entitled "Live at Billy Bob's Texas."

Some of his honky tonk hits include: "Drinkin' Thing," "Out of Hand" and "She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Doubles)," which hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart in 1975.
