University of South Carolina senior Samantha Josephson’s death was the result of multiple sharp force injuries, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.
In a statement, SLED notified the public of the cause of Samantha’s death on behalf of Clarendon County Coroner Bucky Mock.
The investigation is continuing to gather more information, which is a joint effort on the part of the Columbia Police Department, the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office, and SLED.
Samantha was killed last week after she mistakenly got into a car she thought was her Uber ride.
The driver of that car, Nathanial Rowland, has been arrested and charged with her murder.
