Alex Murdaugh reported the deaths to 911, telling a dispatcher that he had returned home and found his wife and son on the ground and not breathing. Their deaths were ruled a double homicide.Richard Harpootlian, an attorney for Murdaugh, said his client had nothing to do with the murders. Murdaugh has never been charged in the deaths.
Harpootlian previously said on NBC’s “TODAY” show that Murdaugh became depressed after the deaths and started using opioids. The lawyer said Murdaugh believed there was a suicide clause in his insurance policy and enlisted a man to kill him during a"fake car breakdown." The ploy was an"attempt on his part to do something to protect his child," Harpootlian said. In a written statement, Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, another attorney for Murdaugh, said their client"believed that ending his life was his only option" but now"knows that’s not true.”
