When Milwaukee Brewers legend George Scott passed away in 2013, his memory and legacy in baseball was carried on by his son, George Scott III. The younger Scott was active on social media and in sports memorabilia circles. Unfortunately, it appears that he and his son, Dante Hazard, have been found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

According to CBS News Boston:
“The DA’s office said police were called to a home on Phillips Road shortly after 8 a.m. for a well-being check. George C. Scott III, 54, and his 8-year-old son Dante Hazard were found dead inside. The two had been living at the home.
“‘Mr. Scott appears to have killed the boy with a sharp object before taking his own life. We are awaiting the medical examiner’s confirmation of these and other details,’ the DA’s office said in a prepared statement.
“Scott is a person of interest in the disappearance of Lisa Hazard, who was last seen alive at the home in 2019. The boy is her son.”
According to the Charley Project, Hazard was last seen by Scott on March 3, 2019. Scott told authorities that she told him she was traveling to Fall River, Massachusetts to buy drugs before checking into a rehabilitation facility. She did not tell Scott what facility she was going to.
On the way, she was picked up by an unknown suspect and never seen again. Scott did not report her missing for over a month because she had disappeared for long periods of time before.
