Final Roll Call 4153. STLCO 10-42 10/13 @ 1519
The human remains that washed up in recent weeks at Dolphin Cove Marina have been identified as a North Charleston man who was suspected late last year of pushing a co-worker off a bridge and then jumping in after him.
DNA testing confirms that the torso and leg of McCoy Wright, 30, were recovered from the marina located in the Charleston Neck area, according to Charleston County Deputy Coroner Brittany Martin.
Charleston police received a call about the torso about 8 p.m. Tuesday. A worker found the leg at the marina June 13.
Joshua D. Brown, a construction crew member, told North Charleston police officers in September that his co-worker threw him over the side of the Gen. William C. Westmoreland Bridge, according to police records.
Brown tried to hang on to the bridge’s concrete, but he said Wright pried his hands free. He survived the 35-foot drop into the Ashley River without serious injury, but Wright was still missing after following Brown into the water.
Wright had been in a construction site accident a week before he went missing and had afterward told family members that his co-workers were conspiring to get him fired, according to a previous artice in The Post and Courier.
