Stephen Smith's Body Exhumed and Autopsied Again After Attention from Murdaugh Trial.

The body of Stephen Smith, a South Carolina man who died in 2015, was exhumed for a second autopsy over the weekend as part of a homicide investigation. Smith's death was initially classified as a hit-and-run, but new information prompted the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to reexamine the case. The investigation was opened while probing the Murdaugh family murder case, which drew attention to other deaths linked to the family. Smith was a classmate of Buster Murdaugh, Paul Murdaugh’s older brother, but lawyers for Smith's family said Buster Murdaugh "has nothing to do" with the investigation.
