Okatie woman found dead in golf course pond
An Okatie woman was found dead in a pond at a Callawassie golf course Saturday, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office report.
The body of Evelyn Scott, 76, was discovered floating face down by two other golfers on the Callawassie Island Clubhouse course at the intersection of Callawassie Drive and Sugar Mill Drive around 2:50 p.m.
The golfers told deputies they did not see her play through ahead of them and discovered her golf cart parked near the women's tee before finding her body, according to the Sheriff's Office report.
No indication of foul play was found, according to the report.
When Scott’s husband was notified, he informed deputies that his wife was afraid of water and did not know how to swim.
Beaufort County Coroner Ed Allen said Monday a cause and manner of death will be determined by an autopsy.
Efforts to reach the golf club and the victim’s husband were unsuccessful Monday.
