By Patricia A. Miller

An Edgewater man committed suicide recently in front of a New Jersey barbershop, spokesperson Al Della Fave of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Police responded to Darlene’s Barber Shop on North Main Street in Barnegat, NJ, just before 9 a.m. on Dec. 19. They found Larry Wolf, 54, of Edgewater, on a bench in front of the shop, with an ”obvious” gunshot wound to the head, Della Fave said.

A semi-automatic pistol and one spent shell was found on the ground near Wolf’s body, Della Fave said.

“Wolf was known to an individual that worked in the barbershop,” Della Fave told Patch.

The Ocean County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene and pronounced Wolf dead at 10:21 a.m., he said.
