Easley, South Carolina - James T. Dickerson Jr. has been arrested and charged with killing his 7-year-old son, Jeremy Wade Dickerson. On Friday morning, paramedics responded to a call at 215 W. Church Road. Upon arrival they found 7-year-old Jeremy Dickerson dead on the floor of his father’s room.
According to Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown, autopsy results show that Jeremy Dickerson died of shock caused by hemorrhaging resulting from “blunt force trauma the boy suffered from a blunt instrument”.
Jeremy had been struck multiple times over his entire body and is believed to have been dead for several hours before paramedics were called.
Jeremy’s 5-year old brother was also present at the scene and is believed to have been beaten by his father James Theodore Dickerson Jr. as well. He has been removed to the custody of children’s services.
James T Dickerson Jr. is currently being held without bond at the Anderson County Detention Center.
