Hell and Gone Murder Line: William Vick Part 1

On January 17, 2023, 53-year-old William Vick was recovering at home in Clarksville, Arkansas. William was in good health. He loved making videos for his YouTube channel. But William had gone in for tonsillectomy operation the week before, and had been experiencing some complications. He had texted his daughter, Ashley to say that he believed that something inside him was broken and that he was throwing up a large amount of blood in the sink.

Ashley was worried, and told her dad that this didn't seem normal to her - she encouraged him to go see the doctor. But LaRenda had worked as an ER nurse and Ashley believed that her stepmother was taking care of her father.

A lot of what we know is pieced together after the fact from coroner’s reports and case notes. We do know that at 11: 22 PM, the Johnson County deputy coroner Dave Cogan arrived at 1954 County Road responding to an unexpected death. They spoke to LaRenda who, according to the coroner’s report, told the deputy coroner that she had been staying in a separate room because she had been sick recently and was worried about COVID.

The deputy coroner noted that William was already in full rigor mortis; meaning that he had been dead, lying on that floor, for a long time. William Vick was fifty three years old. He went in for what was supposed to be a routine operation, and a few days later, he was dead. And this was just the beginning of an investigation that involves charges of insurance fraud, two mysterious deaths, and a family torn apart.
