Buster Murdaugh Addresses Rumors Surrounding Classmate's Death

Buster Murdaugh, the surviving son of Alex Murdaugh, has denied rumors linking him to the death of former classmate Stephen Smith, whose body is due to be exhumed nearly eight years after he was found dead in the road near the Murdaugh home. Smith's death was initially ruled a hit-and-run but was reopened after the murders of Alex's wife and son. While no member of the Murdaugh family has been directly linked to Smith's death, rumors have circulated that Buster was romantically involved with him. An independent autopsy is hoped to provide answers as to how Smith died.
