West Virginia man killed on vacation with his family after offering stranger a ride
[NYPOST] A selfless West Virginia man was found dead after he picked up a stranger while vacationing in South Carolina, his widow has revealed.
Josh Wilson, 40, was driving to his hotel room in Myrtle Beach last month with his family when they stopped at a gas station, where a stranger asked him for a ride, The Sun News reported.
Wilson — who was visiting from Parkersburg, West Virginia — agreed to give the unknown man a lift after dropping his family off, according to the outlet.
"I didn’t think anything of it because he does it all the time," his wife, Staci, told the newspaper.
But Wilson was later found in his car with gunshot wounds, the news site reported. He was brought to a hospital, where he was taken off life support on July 10.
Cops believe the man who asked for the ride wasn’t who killed the 40-year-old West Virginian, according to a story published in mid-July by a local ABC TV station.
