Alex Murdaugh Settles Wrongful Death Suit Linked to 2019 Boat Crash

Murdaugh's insurer pays $500,000 to the family of Mallory Beach, ending a case tied to his financial crimes and murder convictions.

The settlement concludes a lawsuit filed by the family of Mallory Beach, who died in a 2019 boat crash involving Alex Murdaugh's son, Paul.
Paul Murdaugh, who was allegedly intoxicated, crashed the boat into a bridge, resulting in Beach's death and injuries to other passengers.
The case exposed Alex Murdaugh's financial misconduct, including stealing millions from clients and his law firm.
Murdaugh is serving life sentences for the 2021 murders of his wife Maggie and son Paul, which prosecutors linked to his financial distress.
The Beach family previously received a $15 million settlement from other parties involved, including a convenience store that sold alcohol to Paul Murdaugh.
