The body of a young South Carolina man who died mysteriously just a few miles from the infamous Murdaugh family’s home is set to be exhumed, his family has said Friday.
Stephen Smith’s family announced Thursday that they will exhume his body for an independent autopsy after his July 8, 2015, death received renewed attention during Alex Murdaugh’s trial.
