Other cause probed in bar fight fatality
Matthew Hill/Register-Herald Reporter
Oceana police say they are now examining the possibility of a different cause of death in a homicide last Saturday morning.
"A blow to the neck is being looked at now, but we're not sure where it came from at this point. The state medical examiner in Charleston has the autopsy report, and they may have something to release (today)," Police Chief Ed Cozort explained.
Sidney Goodwin, 29, of Oceana, was charged with murder in connection with the death of 44-year old Michael Stafford, also of Oceana, at Pure Country Lounge.
The two apparently got into a barroom altercation. It had previously been thought Stafford struck his head while falling, resulting in death.
According to a spokes-man at Southern Regional Jail, Goodwin posted
$50,000 bond and was released Monday |
