Paralyzed Army vet ‘took own life after learning of wife’s affair’ with controversial SC pastor: sister

A paralyzed Army veteran who drowned in a swimming pool may have taken his own life because he discovered his wife was having an affair with a pastor, his sister has claimed.

Chris Skinner, 41, was found dead in a neighborhood pool in Myrtle Beach, SC, on Sept. 6, 2021. Both the cops and coroner’s office eventually declared the case a suicide and ended their probes, but the coroner’s office recently reopened its investigation again, although there is no suggestion it involves foul play.

She pointed to conflicting descriptions of how Skinner got into the pool from police and coroner reports, despite the fact that both parties viewed the same CCTV footage. While the coroner wrote that Skinner appeared to have gotten too close to the edge of the pool and slipped in, the police report stated that he had stopped at a curve in the pool before suddenly moving forward and into the water.

If people read the article they will have some questions about that preacher, some bad things happen around him.

[Jeff Chandler]

It’s a story requiring the teller to have a drawl.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Too many don't take their marriage vows seriously. God doesn't like it when people take a false oath before him.

[Jonty30]

He should be fired promptly.

Ok, too much happens around this clown. Anyone still attending his church needs their head examined.

How does God feel about pos “men of God” who screw married women?

[ArcadeQuarters]

I got confused with all the names and crimes.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Good point. There is a special place in hell for them.

Women aren’t worth suicide. None.

“Women aren’t worth suicide. None.”

Agree 110%.

This sad story reminds me of an old episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents with a similar plot, but a very different ending. Brian Keith (of “Family Affair”) plays a disabled man who uses an iron lung. His unfaithful, shrewish wife is played by the mother of Tatum O’Neal (can’t recall her name and too lazy to look it up). The wife flaunts her infidelity while poor Brian Keith suffers. Plot twist... wife’s “boyfriend” is a hitman hired by the Brian Keith character

Same to be said about men.

Looks like preacher has some splaining to do ..to many bad coincidences for one guy

“Men” of God are just that, men. They are subject to the same evils as any other man. But because they are men of God, they need to be held to a higher standard.

Such men that commit adultery should be fired immediately. Worse cases such as priests that molest kids should be neutered and jailed.
