She Died In A Drunken Boating Accident And The Young Man Who Allegedly Caused Her Death Was Just Murdered Alongside His Mom
Parris Island, South Carolina. On February 24th, 2019, 19-year-old Mallory Beach was on her way back from a party on Parris Island along with her friends.
20-year-old Paul Murdaugh was driving his dad’s boat, which Mallory was on, when he crashed into a bridge a little after 2 in the morning.
Mallory was thrown out of the boat, and her body was sadly found a week later. An autopsy report confirmed she died due to drowning and blunt force trauma.
Allegedly, Paul had been severely intoxicated at the time of the deadly crash, and he was arrested and charged with causing great bodily injury and boating under the influence causing death.
He was released on bond, and then Mallory’s family filed a wrongful death suit against him.
Paul never went to trial for anything, because he and his mom were recently found shot dead at their hunting lodge.

Ten days ago on the evening of June 7th, Paul was with his mom Maggie at their family’s hunting lodge located in Moselle.
When Paul’s dad Alex came home that night, he found Paul and Maggie lying outside, dead. They both had clearly been shot at least once, the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a statement.

The investigation into Paul and Maggie’s deaths is currently ongoing, however, their community can’t help but speculate that their deaths might be in retaliation to what happened to Mallory.
Maggie’s loved ones shared comments about her on Facebook, saying she was “a very beautiful, very smart, very funny, very nice, lady” and “such a lovely person.”
Someone else remembered Maggie as “a true lady with a heart of gold.”
“Maggie had a heart of pure generosity, and loved welcoming friends and family into her home on any given occasion,” her obituary says.
“She adored her family, and cherished spending time on the boat with her two sons. She will be remembered as a “second mom” to her sons’ many friends.”
“She made the most out of every situation, and lived each and every day to the fullest.”
Paul was remembered as a young man that loved the outdoors and spending his free time hunting with his dad and brother.
“Paul never met a stranger, and had an abundance of friends,” his obituary reads.
“He was always eager to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. No one was more loving and genuine than Paul, and because of this, his personality was one-of-a-kind.”
