As the Murdaugh family dynasty continues its fall from grace amid Alex Murdaugh‘s guilty conviction for the murders of his wife and son, and alleged connections to suspicious deaths over the years, another mysterious Murdaugh family tragedy has come to light.
Alex Murdaugh’s great-grandfather Randolph Murdaugh Sr., an elected solicitor and patriarch of the family, died when his car mysteriously stopped on railroad tracks in 1940 and a train slammed into it. The death led to a payout benefiting his son, who was nicknamed Buster.
In the Netflix documentary ‘Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal,’ journalist Michael M. DeWitt Jr. revealed that according to the train conductor’s comments to the local paper at the time, Murdaugh Sr. was near the tracks and waved at the train as it was speeding toward him, then sped his car so that it was on the tracks at the time of impact. His body was found 150 feet away from the crossing.
