A 13-year-old foster child, Daryl Martinez Lowry, allegedly died after two teenagers attacked him and held him underwater in a lake at the home of a South Carolina county council chairman. Authorities are investigating the death as a murder, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding the boy’s temporary foster placement and supervision.
