Court of Appeals of South Carolina March 2, 2011, 4799 (Trask v. Beaufort County)

FEW, C.J.

The primary issue in this appeal is whether various statutes governing coroners and crematory operators give rise to private rights of action for civil damages. We agree with the circuit court that they do not, and affirm. We also affirm the circuit court’s ruling granting summary judgment for the defendants for spoliation of evidence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
