The Salisbury Daily Times is reporting at this hour that hospital officials have confirmed local landlord and businessman Donnie Williams died last night of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Williams is a former president of Salisbury Area Property Owners Association and owner of Fruitland-based Advanced Property Rental.

The hospital staff says he was admitted to the intensive care unit of Peninsula Regional Medical Center last night and died shortly thereafter.

The paper reports…that Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis confirmed sheriff's deputies responded to Williams' home on Joy-Row Lane early yesterday afternoon…to report about a man suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.

Lewis said no foul play is suspected and that Williams was not a target of a home invasion or a burglary attempt.
