PONCE INLET -- Police Chief Wayne Lurcock died in his home early this morning, the victim of a heart attack. He was 60 years old.

CPR was performed on Lurcock at 5 a.m., but he didn't make it, Lt. Max Binz said in a brief phone interview with NSBNews.net while he was making funeral arrangements with the family.

"He meant so much to me," Binz said. "It's beyond words to describe. He was my best friend."

Though Binz is the senior office in the small police force, he didn't want to get into titles as to whether he's now the acting chief, adding, "That's not important right now."
