Aiken County Coroner Sue Towns says she cannot locate next of kin for Whitmore J. Brown 41 also known as Kilburn Whitmore Brown after a single vehicle crash on Piper Road at about 12 15 a m. Police found he lived in a local trailer park and an insurance card lists his wife while a Florida address found in his wallet could not be confirmed. Towns suspects Brown may have originated from St Thomas Jamaica and asks for any information leading to his family. Aiken youth David Haltiwanger 16 died after colliding with a truck in College Acres about 5 30 p m Monday. He attended South Aiken High School.
