Horry County Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard told news outlets that 55-year-old Allen Large was found dead from natural causes at his home in Murrells Inlet on Wednesday night. Willard did not elaborate.

The former Horry County Police detective was indicted in 2016 on 10 charges, including misconduct in office and third-degree criminal sexual conduct. Large faced up to 110 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
