The body of Stephen Smith was exhumed over the weekend for an independent autopsy, attorneys for Smith's family said.
— The body of Stephen Smith, whose 2015 death was thrust back into the spotlight during the investigation of the 2021 killings of Margaret"Maggie" Murdaugh and her son Paul Murdaugh, was exhumed over the weekend for an independent autopsy, attorneys for Smith's family said.
Smith's body was discovered lying on a Hampton County road on July 8, 2015 and his death was deemed a hit-and-run in an initial incident report and by a medical examiner's report. The report cited the cause of death as blunt head trauma sustained from being hit by a vehicle. The responding officer noted there was"no vehicle debris, skid marks, or injuries consistent with someone being struck by a vehicle."
One State Highway Patrol trooper, Thomas Moore, wrote in his notes that when he arrived on scene, the county coroner"immediately advised me it was a homicide," and pointed to a wound on Smith's head the coroner believed to be a gunshot wound. Separate reports show two other responders -- an EMS worker and a sheriff's deputy -- also believed Smith's head wound was from a gunshot.
