The Beaufort Police Department is investigating the death of a man at the Garden Oaks Apartment Complex in Beaufort on Monday, Dec. 30.
Huey Marshall, 72, was found dead in an apartment at the complex located at 2000 Salem Road.
Officers were dispatched to the complex just after 11 a.m. after receiving a report of suspicious activity and a concerned relative had been unable to reach Marshall.
Originally the death was ruled as suspicious, but an autopsy performed at the Medical University of South Carolina on Friday, Jan. 3, showed that Marshall had been attacked, and his throat had been cut, according to Andrew McNece, Deputy Coroner with Beaufort County Coroner’s Office.
This is an active investigation, and the Beaufort Police Department has asked that anyone with information about this incident call Investigator Jayne at 843-322-7972.
