In the months that followed, Alex&#8217;s admission that he hired a former client to kill him so that his remaining son could benefit from an insurance policy. Oxygen was on the ground from the beginning, already digging into Alex&#8217;s past and present, and tenaciously pursuing incredible insight only locals from his community could provide when news of his shooting broke. The two-hour special &#8220;<strong><em>Alex Murdaugh: Death. Deception.

Three other deaths of people close to Alex Murdaugh&#8217;s immediate family began six years before, and some people asserted the circumstances around those deaths were suspicious. With the demise of Alex Murdaugh&#8217;s law career in the offing and his authority potentially weakening, would the tight-knit community circle the wagons around the still highly influential Murdaugh family, or speak out to share what&#8217;s only whispered about behind closed doors?<\/p><div id=\"morty-4226780381\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00b7 19-year-old Stephen Smith, a friend of Alex&#8217;s older son Buster, was found dead in the middle of a country road in 2015.
