The extensive search for Stanley Kotowski concluded when his body was located beneath a villa in the Sea Pines region of the island, close to where his family was staying during his disappearance, as reported by The Island Packet. Beaufort County coroner David Ott determined that the cause of death was suicide. &#8220;We estimate that he died on the same day he went missing,&#8221; Ott stated, according to the New York Post. He described the manner of death as &#8220;asphyxiation by hanging.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Ott mentioned that an &#8220;apparatus&#8221; was involved but did not elaborate further. He clarified that while it is indeed asphyxiation, it does not necessarily mean traditional hanging; rather, it primarily involves cutting off oxygen flow. A security officer from Sea Pines discovered evidence leading searchers to where Kotowski&#8217;s body was found underneath a house. Sheriff P.J. Tanner noted that Kotowski had experienced paranoia prior to his disappearance and had sought treatment both before and during his family&#8217;s vacation at the resort.<\/p>\n<p>The search included multiple police agencies and tracking dogs but initially yielded no clues after he left his family&#8217;s rental property.
