An autopsy of Joplin banker Kristy Hunt has revealed she died of self-inflicted wounds, the Joplin Police Department said Thursday.
Hunt, 49, reportedly worked as secondary market manager for Community Bank & Trust’s mortgage department at the bank’s 414 E. 32nd St. location in Joplin, before resigning late last week.
According to police, Hunt’s adult children found her after 3 p.m. Tuesday, lying unconscious on the floor of her home on South Michigan Avenue. Hunt died a few hours later at St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Joplin. Joplin police initially investigated the case as a suspicious death and requested assistance from the Tri-State Major Case Squad.
Hunt’s body was sent to the Boone County medical examiner, who determined that Hunt’s wounds were self-inflicted, police said. Police say that Hunt inflicted several wounds to her body with a small kitchen knife found beside her on the floor.
“Based on the results of the autopsy and the Tri-State Major Case Squad (investigation), the Jasper County coroner is going to rule the death a suicide,” said Joplin Police Cpl. Chuck Neiss.
Hunt was pictured in a Nov. 19, 2007, Springfield Business Journal and Joplin Tri-State Business publication honoring Community Bank & Trust as one of the Best Places to Work in southwest Missouri.
Neiss said police did not release information regarding Hunt’s employment. A CBT employee authorized to speak to the media on the matter was unavailable Friday morning.
