Lancaster, SC, coroner identifies man found dead in creek. No arrests made in homicide
The man Lancaster County deputies said was found dead in a creek this week in a homicide has been identified, but no arrests have been made.
The victim was identified Friday as Casier Izzard, 46, of Heath Springs, said Karla Knight-Deese, Lancaster County Coroner.
Knight-Deese said Friday the investigation into Izzard’s death remains ongoing.
Izzard was found dead in Beaver Creek near a bridge on Dick Hill Road at the border with Kershaw County Monday night, Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office deputies and coroner officials said. The body was found partially submerged in about six feet of water near the bridge.
The sheriff’s office said in a statement Tuesday the death is being investigated as a homicide. Sheriff’s officials said detectives were trying to determine if the victim died at the scene where his body was found.
However, sheriff’s office spokesman Doug Barfield said Friday no new information in the case was available for release after Izzard was identified by the coroner’s office as the victim.
Barfield declined to say how Izzard died or what evidence led law enforcement to believe the death is a homicide. No one has been charged in the case, Barfield said.
