Brown tells a local newspaper that authorities believe Woolard accidentally shot himself and the investigation into his death continues. Authorities say Woolard went to the gun range for target practice.

His body was found after his wife called neighbors to check on him after Woolard failed to pick up the family's children.

A funeral is set for 1 p.m. Monday at Park Hill Baptist Church near Tahlequah.
