Dillon County Mourns as Authorities Investigate Two Separate Tragic Deaths: 47-Year-Old Levonda Page and 33-Year-Old Ernest Inman III Identified by Coroner Amid Ongoing Probes into Unexplained Fatalities

DILLON COUNTY, SC — The Dillon County community is grappling with shock and sorrow following the deaths of two men in separate tragic incidents that occurred earlier this week. As loved ones search for answers and mourn these devastating losses, officials have confirmed that the circumstances surrounding both deaths remain under active investigation.

Dillon County Coroner Donnie Grimsley officially identified the deceased as 47-year-old Levonda Page and 33-year-old Ernest Inman III, both of whom were residents of Dillon County. Though the two incidents are not believed to be connected, the sudden nature of both fatalities has sent waves of grief through the community and renewed calls for transparency and resolution.

According to early reports, Levonda Page was found deceased under circumstances that have not yet been fully disclosed. Authorities have remained tight-lipped about the specifics surrounding Page’s death, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. Page was known in the community as a quiet and hardworking individual, and his sudden passing has left his family and neighbors stunned.

“He was always kind to everyone,” a local resident who knew Page shared. “This is just so hard to understand. We’re waiting for more information and praying for his family.”

In a separate incident, Ernest Inman III, just 33 years old, also tragically lost his life. Details surrounding his death have likewise not been made public, though investigators are working closely with the coroner’s office to establish a timeline and potential cause. Inman was remembered by friends as charismatic and full of life, a young man with deep ties to the Dillon County area.

“He had a big heart,” said a close friend of Inman’s. “We’re all in disbelief. He was too young, and this just doesn’t feel real.”

Both cases are now in the hands of local law enforcement and the Dillon County Coroner’s Office, which are conducting forensic evaluations and gathering information from witnesses and community members. Officials have not confirmed whether foul play is suspected in either incident, but they emphasize that nothing is being ruled out at this stage.

The dual tragedies have deeply impacted Dillon County, with many residents expressing not only grief, but also concern and a need for answers. Local churches and community groups have begun offering support to the families of the victims and are planning vigils in honor of the men’s lives.

“This is a small community, and when we lose members like this, we all feel it,” said a local pastor. “Now is the time to support each other, to pray, and to ensure justice is served if wrongdoing is found.”

The investigations are ongoing, and officials say more details will be released to the public as they become available.

Anyone with information regarding either case is urged to contact the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office. Your help could be vital in providing clarity and closure for the grieving families.
