The mother of a South Carolina teenager found dead on a rural road in 2015 said she plans to have his body exhumed for an independent autopsy as his case finds renewed interest in the wake of Alex Murdaugh's arrest and murder conviction.
Attorneys for Satterfield's adult sons eventually recovered millions of dollars owed to her estate.
"On the death certificate, the manner of death was ruled 'natural,' which is inconsistent with injuries sustained in a trip and fall accident," the coroner wrote to state investigators.SLED also announced in June 2022 that it would exhume Satterfield's body as part of the investigation, which her family has said it supports in order to definitively rule out foul play.
She said Friday that she last spoke with SLED investigators about three weeks ago and will be getting help with her son's exhumation from lawyer Eric Bland, who is also representing Satterfield's sons. In a statement Friday, SLED said that it had"made progress" in its investigation into Smith's death and that it"remains active and ongoing."
