But in its request to SLED, the coroner's office wrote Satterfield's death was "not reported to the Coroner at the time, nor was an autopsy performed." Her death certificate notes the manner of death was "natural," which the coroner wrote was "inconsistent with injuries sustained in a trip and fall accident."Satterfield's sons have also sued Murdaugh and several others, with Bland alleging Thursday that Murdaugh misappropriated millions in settlements from the family after Murdaugh helped them bring a wrongful death claim against himself. The lawsuit says that after Satterfield died, Murdaugh introduced her sons to another a lawyer — a friend of Murdaugh's, says the lawsuit — to bring the claim against him. "Our clients had tremendous trust in Murdaugh.They viewed him as family," Bland told CNN's Erin Burnett Thrusday.Â
But according to the lawsuit, despite a civil settlement, Satterfield's sons never received any money."It's a disgrace, we're going to get to the bottom of it, and we have no sympathy or pity for Alex Murdaugh," Bland said.
