This is a surprising discovery for American law enforcement, to say the least. The facts date back to Saturday, May 7. In the morning, Joseph McKinnon, 60, died of a heart attack in his garden, South Carolina, United States, while he was burying the body of a woman he had just strangled.
A victim in the garden
According to information relayed on Tuesday by the sheriff and the forensic officer of Edgefield County in a press release, the body of the sexagenarian ” showed no signs of trauma, his death appearing natural “. However, during investigations, the police discovered the unthinkable. A grave was dug behind the individual’s house. Inside was the body of Patricia Dent, 65.
The autopsy revealed that the victim had died of strangulation. Joseph McKinnon allegedly attacked the latter inside the house before tying her up and wrapping her in several garbage bags. He would have dug the grave of the latter in his garden and it was when he was about to cover the corpse with earth that he would have succumbed to an attack. For the moment, no clue seems to enlighten the investigators as to the motive for the murder.
Among the most unusual deaths, the English comedian Ian Cognito also died of a heart attack in April 2019 while he was on stage performing a sketch about… a heart attack. ” Imagine, I have a stroke and I wake up speaking Welsh! “, he had launched before collapsing in front of a hilarious public. Unfortunately, what viewers thought was a simple joke turned into a real death. They quickly stopped laughing when they saw an assistant arrive on stage to help the inert actor.
