TRENTON, S.C. (WRDW/CNN Newsource) - A shocking story in South Carolina: police say a man died of a heart attack right after he killed his girlfriend and buried her in their backyard.
An incident report from the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office details the death of 65-year-old Patricia Dent. Her twin sister, Pamela, says there were no signs of this happening.
“Everybody who ever met her liked her," Pamela Briggs said. "She was just full of energy. She was 65 and working.”
Deputies responded to the house in Trenton where Dent lived with her boyfriend, 60-year-old Joseph McKinnon. The sheriff says he strangled her to death in their home before burying her in a pit in the backyard.
"Shocked. I was in shock,” the victim's sister said.
McKinnon put the shovel to the side and was walking away when he had a heart attack and died on the spot. Deputies showed up Saturday morning after someone reported him lying in the yard.
Dent was supposed to be at a local golf course where she worked, but she never showed up. The family says this is a hole that can never be filled.
“I would say a nightmare and I want to wake up and it's a dream and I know it's not," Pamela said. "This is reality and life and a big part of me is gone and now I'm going to have to live with that.”
The sheriff's office says it's not aware of any visits to the house before or any other prior incidents.
