77-year-old Rock Hill man stabbed to death inside his home

ROCK HILL, S.C. — Rock Hill police are investigating the stabbing death of a 77-year-old man found dead inside his apartment.

York County Coroner Sabrina Gast identified the victim Saturday as Walter Faile. She gave no details.

A maintenance worker with Rock Hill Housing Authority found Faile lying on the floor Thursday morning while at the complex on Hutchinson Road with an exterminator to treat the property.

The worker told officers no one answered the door when he knocked, so he let himself in with a key.

According to a police report, Faile had been stabbed in the head and chest.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers of York County at 877-409-4321.
