ABBEVILLE COUNTY, S.C. —

Abbeville County Coroner Dr. Mark Dorn said Robert Morgan, 70, of Taylors, was found dead by someone in his hunting club just before 1 p.m.

Dorn said the person from the hunting club called 911 immediately after finding the body in the area of Highway 71 and Circle B Drive.

The area is so remote, it took 10 to 15 minutes to reach the body on ATV, Dorn said.

Morgan was on the property preparing his deer stand and surrounding area for the upcoming hunting season, the coroner said.

Dorn said no foul play was suspected.

An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday.
