A homicide investigation is underway days after a woman's body was discovered in her South Carolina home, the Sumter County Coroner's Office said. On the night of July 9, family members found 61-year-old Mariam Hardee inside her home in the 2800 block of Ithica Drive, the coroner's office said in a news release that was sent at about midnight Saturday night. That's in Sumter, in the area between U.S. 15 and Manchester State Forest. Because of the unknown circumstances surrounding Hardee's death, an autopsy was performed at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, according to the release.
