Man found dead in Hilton Head is considered missing

Stanley Kotowski, 60, disappeared on August 16 after leaving the Hilton Head Island vacation home where the family was staying. Police officers in Beaufort County, which includes the island, searched the area for days for Kotowski, who was believed to be suffering from a mental health crisis.

That search ended Monday when sheriff's deputies called to a home for suspicious activity found the body of a man underneath the property, the agency said in an update on Facebook. The body was believed to be Kotowski's, according to the sheriff's office.
