My sincere condolences for his loss. His family and loved ones did a remarkable job mobilizing to find him, and it’s obvious he was very much loved.
I looked up the location on Google street view. They have exterior photos of the condo units--they don't appear to be stilted. Lagoon Villas · 226 s sea pines Dr, Lagoon Villa, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928I wonder if the phrase "Under the home" is misleading in this instance, as so many beach-front homes are stilted. In any case, my condolences for his family.![]()
Maybe, but it wouldn't have killed him. I have spent a lot of time in Hilton Head and this makes no sense to me.I grew up on a beach. No Hilton Head but not far from there. Stilted beach homes were often wrapped in lattice to make an enclosed, private space on the ground floor. Speaking from experience, they can be difficult to find your way out of if you aren't thinking clearly (such as after a late night college party). I wonder if in his mental state he found himself trapped?
That could have happened. But we don't know why he was having insomnia, lots of anxiety, and had become paranoid as his wife had reported. (She said he did not have dementia as I recall.) It's possible there was something going on physically that caused his death. The autopsy will be informative, for sure.I'm so sorry for the very sad and tragic outcome for his family and those who knew and loved him.
I'm curious as to what the autopsy and tox screen will show. The only thing I can think of that could have caused his death is that he took an overdose of something and went to find a place where he wouldn't readily be found. It's so sad to even think about, and I hope I don't trigger anyone by saying it. I'm just searching for answers.

He said the cause of death was asphyxiation and said foul play was not suspected in the death
