Pedestrian’s death ruled accidental

The Oconee coroner has issued his ruling in a pedestrian’s death one week ago in Seneca.  Coroner Karl Addis said Toni Smith Marcello, a Beaufort County resident, died of multiple force trauma.  “Based on the SCHP investigation and post mortem exam, her death was classified as accidental,” Addis told 101.7/WGOG NEWS.  The patrol reported the accident involved multiple units in the vicinity of a car wash on E-N 1st Street.  Troopers said the 27-year old Marcello was standing in a parking lot when she was struck.
