Clarendon County Sheriff's Office Maj. Kipp Coker said Monday night that investigators are awaiting the autopsy of 46-year-old Al Hixson before making a judgment on whether foul play was involved in the man's death.
Hixson's body was found face-down in a ditch on Bloomville Road early Saturday afternoon. Coroner Hayes Samuels said the body had been in the ditch at least four or five days. A preliminary report was expected late Monday afternoon. Manninglive.com will update as soon as we get that information Tuesday morning.
