[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] A South Carolina man died of a heart attack after allegedly strangling his girlfriend to death.

According to reports, police found the body of Joseph McKinnon in the small town of Trenton, South Carolina, on Saturday after neighbors reported an unconscious man laying in his yard.

EMTs were called to the scene but were unable to revive the 60-year-old. Shortly after finding Joseph’s body, investigators learned the gruesome reason why he was in the backyard in the first place: the man was burying a body wrapped in bin bags in a newly dug hole.

Officials identified the body as Joseph’s partner, Patricia Dent, who lived at the same home on Tanglewood Drive, according to a statement from Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office.
