Stanley Kotowski, a 60-year-old Massachusetts man, was found dead in a crawlspace beneath a nearby home ten days after disappearing from a vacation rental on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Authorities confirmed that Kotowski died by suicide from asphyxiation due to hanging, likely on the day he went missing. His wife reported that Kotowski had been suffering from severe anxiety and paranoia, believing that people were out to get him. A multi-agency search effort was launched, including K9 units, drones, and helicopters, but it was a security officer who ultimately found Kotowski's body due to a foul odor and flies. The tragic outcome highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues, as emphasized by Sheriff P.J. Tanner.
