An autopsy on Dent determined she had been strangled and neighbors told officers they saw McKinnon digging a hole in his yard the day before, deputies said.

I hope it was a long and painful heart attack. Being strangled cannot be any fun and can actually take a while depending on the stranglers skills. Yup, a long and painful heart attack.
