Authorities responded to a rural home near Detroit Lakes around 9:00 a.m. and discovered the bodies of 45-year old Steven Stearns and 49-year old Stacy Stearns – as well as two deceased dogs.
Sheriff Todd Glander says it appears Stacy’s death was a homicide… while the cause of death of Steven goes down as a suicide. The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office performed the autopsies and made the positive identification.
