Alex Murdaugh, convicted of double murder, used the death of his housekeeper to commit another financial scam. The family allows the victim's body to be exhumed to correct the results of the first autopsy.
Murdaugh Housekeeper's Mysterious Death
The deaths of Murdaugh's wife and son might be more, said the source, as several deaths occurred with a connection to his alleged fraud, as mentioned by South Carolina investigators in the death of Gloria Satterfield, his housekeeper, Express UK reported.
The body will be exhumed to examine it and determine if the convicted man is guilty of any wrongdoing. Based on details that in 2018 that Satterfield slipped on the family dog when going into the residence, noted the Daily Mail. Her injuries resulted in her passing away in the hospital.
The deceased Satterfield has worked for the family for the last twenty years. Sources speculated shady details like alleged involvement with drugs and even fraud.
It came to light that her now-convicted boss gave them legal advice on what to do. During the woman's funeral, he approached them, saying to sue via attorney Corey Fleming to get an insurance payout. The advice was taken, but how much they were supposed to get was unknown.
Sons of the house help engaged in a court case after the untimely death, filed in September 2021 by Michael Antony Satterfield and Brian Harriot, to get compensation for the alleged accident at the Murdaugh home.

Recovery of more than $ 7.5 million meant for the Satterfields coming from several banks and law offices which are part of the disgraced lawyer's alleged insurance scams, cited New York Post. This was mentioned by South Carolina attorney Eric Bland who represented the two sons and said Gloria dying led to justice for all the victims.

When Satterfield died, there was no attempt to do an autopsy on the housekeeper, as shown in court documents.
Hampton County Coroner Angela Topper, in a letter to South Carolina authorities, said that the death had nothing irregular and it was natural. Contradicting the woman had suffered injuries caused by tripping then falling, no tying up.
