David Metzig: Who Was He?

In Fremont, Wisconsin, David Metzig was well-known for being a co-owner of the Union Star Cheese Factory. He grew up on a dairy farm before teaming forces with his wife Jan to establish a cheese factory in 1977 after purchasing an ancient building that had once been a creamery. Jan oversaw the factory’s retail department, while David oversaw production. Together, they created a prosperous company that served customers in Wisconsin and beyond with high-quality artisanal cheeses. The duo quickly developed a devoted following of clients across North America owing to their dedication to excellence and attention to detail.

How Did He Die?

Law enforcement agencies were called to the area on Friday night, March 17, 2023, at about 11 p.m. local time after receiving complaints of “unresponsive adults” inside the home. Authorities arrived at the residence and discovered two people lying dead in their bedroom from gunshot wounds. Investigations revealed that the victims were David and Jan Metzig, who had been shot numerous times by their son while they slept side by side comfortably at night. Their son has been detained on suspicion of murder, but his identity has not yet been made public because police are still investigating the incident.

Two adults with gunshot wounds were found lifeless and immobile in a bed when law police arrived. Authorities discovered after further inquiries that their son had shot both victims many times before fleeing the scene before police arrived. After a protracted search, he was eventually found at the YMCA in Appleton, Wisconsin, and was instantly detained on suspicion of murder.

Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal, a new true crime documentary series on Netflix, tells the tale of the affluent South Carolina family, the Murdaughs. In Murdaugh Murders, the family of litigators is investigated for several incidents, including a fatal boating accident and the circumstances leading up to the deaths of matriarch Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh and her son Paul in the summer of 2021.

The trial of Alex Murdaugh, who is accused of killing Maggie and Paul but has maintained his innocence and entered a not-guilty plea, is also partially covered in the television show. A fourth member of the Murdaugh family, Maggie and Alex’s other son Buster, is also included in the documentary.

Before killing his mother and brother, Richard Alex Murdaugh, sometimes known as Buster, was employed by his father’s law firm and was enrolled in law school at the University of South Carolina, which was somewhat of a family tradition. He was later dismissed, nonetheless, due to a plagiarism-related incident.

As reported by the local publication, Buster’s family reportedly paid $60,000 to ensure he would be readmitted to the college to finish his legal degree. But he hasn’t started studying again yet. Butch Bowers, the Murdaugh’s attorney, stated that the client had temporarily shelved his plans to attend law school. “There is no plan for him to enter school in the fall or in the spring.”

Buster resides in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, with his partner, attorney Brooklynn White. What he does for a living is unknown. He testified as a first witness for the defence in his father’s trial in February of this year, which means he spoke on his father’s behalf. In his testimony, he stated that Alex was “heartbroken” over the deaths of Maggie and Paul.

Buster has been present for the entire trial of his father, and according to Law & Crime, Buster has reportedly been rattled and buried his head in his hands throughout the proceedings. At the same time, the lawyers recount the graphic details of the double homicide. On March 2, Buster’s father was found guilty of both killings, and on March 3, the judge sentenced his father to two consecutive life terms in prison.

Alex Murdaugh claims that when he got home on June 7, 2021, he saw Maggie and Paul shot to death close to the dog kennels on their property. He dialled both 911 and Buster.

“He sounded odd, and then he told me that my mom and my brother had been shot,” Buster said during the trial. By his testimony, Buster was at his girlfriend’s home in Rock Hill, South Carolina, more than 200 miles away, when the murders occurred. He went straight to the Murdaugh house after learning what had happened.

A well-known Star Wars Ewok, Paul Grant, whose life spiralled out of control, passed away at 56.

Police discovered Paul Grant, who co-starred with Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill in the science fiction classic Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, unconscious outside King’s Cross station in London on Thursday.

The 132cm actor, who played a goblin in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, fell and was taken to the hospital, but doctors reportedly ruled him brain dead.

Paul’s family informed the media that his life support system tragically shut off on Sunday.

Sophie Jayne Grant, a 28-year-old Peterborough resident, said:

“I’m devastated.

“My dad was a legend in so many ways.

“He always brought a smile and laughter to everyone’s face.

“He would do anything for anyone and was a massive Arsenal fan.

“He was an actor, father and grandad.

“He loved his daughters and son and his girlfriend Maria very much, as well as her kids, who were like stepchildren to him.

“My dad I love you so much sleep tight.”

Paul’s girlfriend Maria Dwyer, 64, added: “Paul was the love of my life. The funniest man I know. He made my life complete. Life is never going to be the same without him.”

Paul admitted to a reporter that he had wasted his film money on drugs and drink when he was photographed in 2014 sniffing white powder.

Paul, who is divorced and has three children—Sophie, Nicole, and Robbie—with his ex-wife Janet Crowson, previously described how his life had reached its lowest point due to the breakdown of his marriage.

A family friend told sources:

“He was a lovely bloke.

“He’s always battled drugs and alcohol addiction but was a talented actor.

“He called himself the ‘King of the Dwarfs’. It’s so sad.”

His prior work includes the Val Kilmer-starring 1998 film Willow, the Tom Cruise film Legend from 1985, the David Bowie-starring Labyrinth from 1986, and the Deuce Bigalow 2 film.

He also portrayed characters like the diminutive, endearing Ewoks who dwelt on Endor’s forest moon.

A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We were called at 2.08 pm on Thursday, 16 March, to reports of an incident at St Pancras Station, Euston Road.

“We sent an ambulance crew and a medic in a response car. We treated a man at the scene and took him to hospital as a priority.”
