Alex Murdaugh arrived at the hospital shortly after his son, accompanied by his father. Randolph Murdaugh III stayed with his grandson, who was shackled to the bed. “He is drunk as Cooter Brown,” Randolph Murdaugh III said, according to testimony by a security guard. Cooter Brown is a Southern trope for the town drunk. Alex Murdaugh went room to room, nurses said, according to court documents, attempting to talk with each young person. Ms. Doughty later testified that she asked her nurse to keep Mr. Murdaugh out of her room and that she feared he was trying to make it look like Mr. Cook was driving.
