HCPD Opened An Investigation After The Discovery Of A Dead Body

Police received a call from a woman who said she had gone to check on a person who she had not heard from in two weeks.

An investigation has been opened in regards to what Horry County police have deemed a ‘suspicious death’.

Last Tuesday, officers responded to a home on Bombing Range Road near Longs after receiving a call from a woman who said she had gone to check on a person who she had not heard from in two weeks.

Upon arrival, an officer attempted to enter the home but was halted by an apparent odor. Another officer later went inside and found the body of a deceased woman covered with a blanket.

Information is limited at this time as an autopsy is set to be conducted to reveal more. The case remains active ‘due to suspicious circumstances’.
