PALM COAST — Little more than a year after Stacy Culotta tried to provoke Flagler County sheriff's deputies to shoot and kill her by pointing a pellet gun at them as they responded to her home, the 37-year-old Palm Coast woman killed herself Monday night, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

Culotta’s father told deputies he discovered his daughter's body in a bathroom of their Pine Brook Drive home after returning from trick or treating with her mother and 9-year-old son just before 8 p.m. Monday. He told a 9-1-1 dispatcher that she shot herself in the head and he found a .38-caliber handgun lying on the floor next to her.

Culotta’s death came a day after she was released from a Stewart-Marchman facility following a nine-day stay. Her father told deputies she had tried to commit suicide on numerous occasions, the most recent being about three weeks ago.

One of those attempts came in September 2015 when Culotta brandished a firearm, which proved to be a pellet gun, and pointed it at one of four deputies who responded to her home for a disturbance call. Sheriff’s Office spokespeople at the time said she tried to bait the officers into firing upon her.

One of the deputies in that case used a stun gun to subdue Culotta, who was arrested and charged.
