(From The Associated Press)- Authorities say the body of a woman previously reported as missing was found this week in a South Carolina marsh, and her ex-boyfriend was found dead hours after the discovery — of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
The Post and Courier reports the Charleston County coroner identified the woman's body pulled Friday from off of Clark Sound Bay as 41-year-old Megan Rich. Rich was last seen Aug. 12 in the James Island area.
Authorities say her ex-boyfriend, Brian Baker, was a suspect in Rich's disappearance. The coroner says Baker apparently killed himself about six hours after the woman's body was found. Both deaths are under investigation.
