Something is really wrong with this story. These people were not vacationers and only lived in HHI part of the year. I didn't read all of the info in the link but had already heard about the story. She was an attorney in Savannah and they lived in Atlanta the other part of the year, if I remember correctly. I think we will find out this was all about money. It was not random.

Interesting...I see the person of interest (who committed suicide) was with the Club Group...they manage the Spicebush and Swallowtail timeshares. I would also guess that this is about money...

Dennis Gerwing's death by suicice (by cutting his inner thigh deeply) is still being looked into. It's all over our tv news since the couple is from Atlanta. (HHI makes for mighty pretty video this time of year.)

Sorry to add to the gruesomeness, but this is so not the way I would commit suicide. It would be interesting to find out if the coroner's report indicates angle of blade was possible by the person.

I'm going to add to the gruesomeness too. Guys do that kind of thing, women go for pills and carbon monoxide. It does seem like it would be a slow, painful way to die. It will be interesting to see if they deem it self inflicted.

On one show, I heard he died in the complex of Swallowtail.

LisaH is correct. On Wednesday, the State paper in Columbia had an article which stated he was found dead in a unit at Swallowtail.

I just read an article on line (HH Island Packet) that said he also had multiple stab wounds to the
chest. Does that sound like a suicide? Stranger and stranger....

We just checked in today at Coral Sands and yes, this is definitely the topic of conversation on the island. Had lunch at Jump & Phil's and the locals are saying this is all about money. It is so unsettling to hear of such a tragic and violent act being committed here in this lush tropical paradise. How sad.

While reading one of the supplemental incident reports by one of the Fire Department Paramedics on the Dennis Gerwing Suicide, a term was used that I was not familiar with - halligan.

A halligan was used to open the locked bathroom door in the Swallowtail villa.
