ROUND O, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say they are investigating after a neighbor who went to check on an open camper door in a South Carolina neighborhood found her neighbor dead inside.

Colleton County Sheriff’s Lt. Tyger Benton said the woman called 911 after finding the man cold to the touch around 10:30 a.m. Friday in the camper parked in Round O.

A police report says the women told deputies there was blood everywhere, but she didn’t see a gun or a knife.



The coroner’s office has not said how 49-year-old Dale Hickman died, but Benton said in a statement they believe Hickman was killed by someone else.
