US man dies of heart attack while discarding girlfriend's body after strangling her
A 44-year-old man in Alabama died of a heart attack while trying to dispose of his girlfriend's body after fatally strangling her, authorities said.
An unusual crime has been uncovered in Alabama, United States. On the morning of June 10, deputies from the Chambers County Sheriff's Office found two bodies in a wooded area near an abandoned vehicle in the town of Lanett. The deceased were identified as 44-year-old Daniel Robbins and 47-year-old Jessica Folds.
Autopsy results determined that Folds had been strangled. Robbins, who was her partner, attempted to dispose of the body when he suffered a fatal heart attack. "He died of a heart attack while doing it," said District Attorney Mike Segrest.
At the scene, a pickup truck was still running, the driver's side door was open, and the tailgate was down. Drag marks led from the truck into the woods where the bodies were found. Segrest believes the incident occurred the previous night.
Folds was the mother of three adult sons, and Robbins is survived by a daughter. Investigators suspect Robbins killed Folds in an act of domestic violence.
