Nearly half of Alex Murdaugh’s $1.8M assets going to victims of son Paul’s deadly boat crash

Nearly half of convicted killer Alex Murdaugh’s remaining assets will go to the victims of his slain son’s deadly 2019 boat crash, a court order issued Monday decreed.
The family of 19-year-old Mallory Beach, who died when Paul Murdaugh, then also 19, drove his boat into a bridge while supposedly intoxicated, will receive a 29% cut of the assets, court-appointed special referee Walt Tollinson ruled, according to the court document seen by The Post.
An additional 16% of Alex Murdaugh’s last assets will go to the others who survived the accident — including Morgan Doughty, Paul’s then-girlfriend.
The assets that court-appointed lawyers drummed up by selling Alex Murdaugh’s land and farm equipment and liquidating his 401(k) totaled just under $1.8 million, the Post and Courier reported.
Some of that amount will also be paid out to Tollinson for his services, the outlet explained.
Murdaugh, 55, was convicted of the June 2021 shooting deaths of his wife, Maggie, and Paul last year.
