Dillon County Coroner Identifies Two Men Killed in Separate Tragic Incidents
Dillon County, SC – The community is mourning after two separate tragic incidents claimed the lives of two local men this week. Dillon County Coroner Donnie Grimsley has officially identified the deceased as 47-year-old Levonda Page and 33-year-old Ernest Inman III, both residents of Dillon County. The circumstances of each death remain under investigation, as authorities work to piece together the events that led to these heartbreaking losses.
Levonda Page: A Life Cut Short in Latta Incident
Levonda Page tragically lost his life on Sunday, April 13, 2025, after being run over by a vehicle in the 500 block of South Park Court in Latta. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene, where they found Page critically injured. Despite the efforts of first responders, he was pronounced dead shortly after.
The details surrounding how the incident occurred are still being determined. An autopsy has been ordered to establish the exact cause of death, which may shed more light on whether the incident was accidental or involved foul play. Investigators from the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office are working closely with the coroner’s office to gather statements, review evidence from the scene, and determine who was involved and what factors contributed to the fatal event.
Family and friends of Page describe him as a quiet, hard-working man who was known throughout the community for his humility and dedication to his loved ones. His sudden death has left a deep void, and his loved ones are now seeking both answers and healing.
