Yowzer: man dies of heart attack after burying girlfriend in backyard

WRDW/WAGT: In a bizarre twist that some might call karma, a Trenton, N.J., man died of a heart attack after burying the body of his girlfriend after he strangled her, Edgefield County authorities say.

The Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office says evidence shows Joseph McKinnon, 60, strangled Patricia Dent, 65, inside the home and was burying her in the backyard when he died of a heart attack.

While covering the pit, McKinnon set the shovel aside and tried to walk away, but experienced a heart attack and died on the spot at 102 Tanglewood Drive.

Emergency medical crews were called to the scene by someone who found the man’s body just before 10 a.m. Saturday, tried chest compressions, and called 911.
