A press release, issued by the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, explained that his body was found at approximately 3:30 p.m by a security officer who says they smelled something foul. A coroner examination to "determine the manner of death" is scheduled for Tuesday.
When Kotowski, 60, first went missing, multiple resources were used to search for the Massachusetts man, including "K9s, helicopters, drones, boats, and foot patrol."
When Kotowski left his house for the last time, he reportedly left all of his personal belongings behind. He did not take his phone or his wallet with him, and left the home shoeless.
His wife, Jackie, explained that he had been acting strange. She explained, "He just walked out the door. He had really bad insomnia for about a month. He doesn't have dementia. His anxiety just kept getting worse and worse and worse, and he started to get a little paranoid."
It is currently not known how Kotowski came to be found under the house's crawlspace. His death is currently under investigation.
