TRENTON, S.C. - A 60-year-old man who strangled his girlfriend died of a heart attack while burying her body in their South Carolina backyard, investigators said.

Deputies found Joseph Anthony McKinnon's body Saturday after neighbors called and reported an unconscious man in a yard in Trenton, the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

As they investigated McKinnon’s death, deputies found a body wrapped in trash bags in a freshly dug hole and determined it was his girlfriend, Patricia Ruth Dent, 65, investigators said.

An autopsy on Dent determined she had been strangled and neighbors told officers they saw McKinnon digging a hole in his yard the day before, deputies said.

Totally Twilight Zone. All that’s missing is her coming to and taking poison in a twist on Romeo and Juliet.

Sucks to be him.

If I learned anything from “The Sopranos” - its that you dig the grave first, and then strangle your girlfriend.

So much less pressure after the deed.

He should have subcontracted one of the two tasks.

Theoretically, it takes an awful lot of prolonged physical labor to dig a hole big enough to bury an adult. If the ground is soft and wet, thats worse. The water will makes each shovelful of earth heavier than if it was dry.

He was likely already exhusted by the strangulation, now, he’s in a panicked hurry to get the job done before somebody get’s nosy. His clothes are all dirty now.
All it would take is for someone to quietly walk up behind him and calmly ask:”Hi Bill, are you starting a garden today?” to shock him into a heart attack.

digging a hole in his yard the day before

Amongst the many nice folks around here, there are scattered about some real dumbasses. Now they can't even be bothered to read the excerpt before revealing their stupidity.

I absolutely love that movie! I watched the first season of “The Walking Dead”, and it was kind of interesting, but after watching an episode of the next season, it got boring for me.

So I am not really into Zombie movies.

But OMG-ZombieLand and Double-Tap were two movies I greatly enjoyed watching!

Hahahahaha...toilets and cardio!
