SC man suffers heart attack, dies while burying body of murdered wife: Officials
A man from a small town in South Carolina died of a heart attack while burying the body of his wife he had strangled inside of their home, according to officials in Edgefield County.
Augusta, Georgia-based ABC affiliate WJBF reports that the body of Joseph McKinnon, 60, was found in his Trenton yard Saturday morning.
Officials responded to the scene and found a second body -- that of 65-year-old Patricia Dent -- in a freshly dug pit.
Autopsies showed that McKinnon died of natural causes while Dent died by strangulation.
Investigators put together a timeline of events. They believe McKinnon attacked Dent while inside of their home, then wrapped her body in trash bags and put her in the pit.
While covering Dent's body with dirt, McKinnon is believed to have suffered a deadly heart attack.
