Arthur Enos, 81, Dies in Suicide Near Outback, Moments After a 2-Hour Dinner

Arthur Raymond Enos, an 81-year-old resident of Bird of Paradise Drive in Palm Coast, died in an apparent suicide Friday evening after he walked out of the Outback Steakhouse off Boulder Rock Drive, went a short distance across the parking lot and an access road, and shot himself.




Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the steakhouse at 45 Plaza Drive just before 11 p.m. Friday, finding Enos in the grassy area between the access road and the woodline alongside a large retention pond. Enos’s walker was near him. He had a revolver in his hand. Two Outback employees told a deputy that Enos had shot himself, according to a sheriff’s incident report.

Enos still had a faint pulse when authorities arrived at the scene, which had drawn some bystanders. A deputy administered CPR, but the injury was too severe. A Palm Coast Fire Department pronounced Arthur Enos dead at 10:53 p.m. Deputies established a crime scene, cordoning off the area.

Outback provided surveillance video of the evening. Noting that the video’s time stamp was about 35 minutes behind actual time, a deputy observed Enos walking into Outback at 8:02 p.m., according to the time stamp (or 8:37 p.m. in actual time), then exit the restaurant two hours later, at 10 p.m. (or 10:35 p.m. in actual time). Enos, according to the deputy’s account, leaves through the front door, and heads across the parking lot and the road out of camera view. He appears to have been at the restaurant alone.

Just two days before, Enos had filed the latest in a series of actions in an ongoing civil matter he was battling in circuit court over a crash he was involved in, on October 2017, on Bird of Paradise and Birthstone Way, not far from his home.

    I feel horrible for this man and anyone who may have feelings for him. Some friends and I were outside and actually heard the shot.
    It would have been even more horrific if the police officer driving the white undercover Camaro had killed anyone as he was going 80+ mph on Palm Coast Parkway as he arrived probably 10 minutes later than everyone else. There was NO need for him to be driving that fast well after the fire trucks, ambulance, and all the other police vehicles had already arrived and some had even left. Then he literally floored his car a few minutes later and raced back down PCP to the West again seemingly for no reason. FCSO is awesome and I love their presence but don’t want to see someone innocent killed or hurt from such reckless driving by an officer.

    Stewart Marcham is a joke. It’s a revolving door, no one ever gets the help they need. It’s a revolving door, get em in get em out. Thanks for the paycheck. Stop making it sound like they accomplishing something. They are not. Why isnt anyone looking at the non success rate?

    I don’t think any of the crisis centers are really helping otherwise we would be seeing a significant reduction in local suicides. The count so far this year has been staggering.

    Flagler County ignores the homeless, the ignore those medically ill, they feel if they don’t address it, it will just disappear.
