Plans to exhume the body of a 19-year-old Stephen Smith, who died in July 2015 near the Murdaugh family home, were given a boost after raising $40,000 online in a matter of days.
Stephen Smith died in July 2015, but his mother Sandy has long disputed the official recorded cause of death, a hit-and-run, andThe investigation into his death was revisited in 2021 after the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh – for which husband and father Alex was convicted on March 3.
“While the state can elect and fund an exhumation and new autopsy, it is our understanding that it would be carried out at [the Medical University of South Carolina], where his death was initially classified as hit-and-run despite no evidence to support it,” she wrote on the page at the time.
“Did they do any kind of X-rays of his body?” he asked. “If they did, maybe that’s something they could go back, and review those films that they did, compared to what they have now. Maybe they’ll go in and discover something else that otherwise might not have been picked up.” “A lot of people think they just dig a hole and put a casket in,” he said, speaking about a burial. “That’s not how it happens.”A casket is then sealed in concrete, essentially making it “a box within a box,” Morgan added.“That’s one of the things they’re going to be fighting – the elements relative to this, we’re talking about seven years of rain and drought and all of these different things that impact the area,” he said.
