Newberry County, South Carolina – A shocking incident unfolded on Sunday afternoon when a man was hospitalized with a stab wound while inside his burning home, where a deceased individual was later found. The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office reported that deputies and the Newberry County Fire Service received a call about a house fire on Green Acres Road in the Silverstreet area around 2 p.m.
As emergency responders rushed to the scene, another 911 call was made from the homeowner, who claimed he had been stabbed. He alleged that the person who assaulted him also set the house on fire. The homeowner was quickly transported by emergency medical services (EMS) to a nearby hospital with what officials described as a non-life-threatening injury.
Once firefighters from Silverstreet, Chappells, Friendly, and the Newberry Rescue Squad managed to extinguish the blaze, they discovered a deceased victim inside the residence. The identity of this victim has not yet been released by the Newberry County Coroner’s Office, which is currently investigating the cause of death. Thankfully, no other injuries were reported during this chaotic event.
According to investigators, the homeowner and another person were involved in an argument that escalated. During this altercation, the homeowner was stabbed, which led to the accused assailant retreating into the home. The circumstances that ignited the argument remain unclear. Details concerning the cause of the fire have not been disclosed, and it is still unknown how long it took firefighters to bring the fire under control.
Law enforcement has yet to confirm whether the individual accused of stabbing the homeowner is the same person who was found deceased at the scene. Given that a fire resulted in a fatality, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Arson Team has been called in to assist with the investigation, working alongside the sheriff’s office, coroner’s office, and Newberry County Fire Service.
The situation remains fluid, and authorities are diligently working to uncover the full sequence of events surrounding this tragic incident. As the investigation progresses, the public is urged to look out for updates regarding this case, as the investigation into the stabbing, fire, and the deceased individual continues.
This ongoing story highlights the complexities of incidents involving potential violence and loss of life. Residents are encouraged to stay aware of local news and community alerts as officials gather more information.
