Authorities said Howard, 53, apparently committed suicide Saturday at a remote campground just outside Santa Clarita.

A lifelong Burbank resident, Howard was a personal-injury attorney who gave up a political career after losing a bid for Congress in 1966. Mary Lou Howard was elected to the Burbank City Council in 1979 and is serving her third term.
