 Deputy coroner Don McCown said the victim, 26-year-old Blake Wardell, bled to death after he was shot in the chest.

 A woman charged in connection with the death of a man who put on a bullet-proof vest and asked to be shot has now admitted she lied to investigators, according to Anderson County deputies. 
 
 Taylor Ann Kelly was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter in the case but deputies said she is now charged with accessory after the fact of a felony. 
 
 Deputies said Kelly admitted she was not truthful in her original statement and evidence confirms her admission and implicates another man who is now charged. 
 
 Timothy Fisher, 25, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the case, according to deputies. He is being held at the Anderson County Detention Center. 
 
 The shooting was reported Wednesday on Broadmouth Church Road at 2:40 a.m., according to Sheila Cole with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office. 
 
 Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown said Blake Randall Wardell was hanging around with some other people in a garage at that location when he put on a bulletproof vest they had found. 
 
 Wardell asked someone to shoot him, according to McCown. 
 
 Wardell was shot with a small-caliber weapon and the shot went above the Kevlar of the vest and into Wardell’s heart, killing him, McCown said. 
 
 Several people tried unsuccessfully to perform CPR on Wardell, according to deputies.
– Who needs enemies when you have friends like these? An 18-year-old woman faces an involuntary manslaughter charge after she allegedly fatally shot her friend in the chest Wednesday ... because he asked her to. Though 25-year-old victim Blake Wardell wore a Kevlar bulletproof vest during the incident, the bullet from the small-caliber weapon somehow missed the Kevlar and entered his heart, WYFF4 reports. Several people attempted CPR, but Wardell bled to death, reports Fox Carolina. Taylor Ann Kelly has been charged. The incident occurred at a home in Honea Path, South Carolina, where up to 10 people were hanging out in a garage. When they found the old vest, Wardell put it on and asked the others to shoot him. Another participant was apparently Timothy Fisher, 25, who was arrested yesterday in connection with the incident. He faces the same charge as Kelly, and each could spend five years in prison for the stunt. This all may have happened sober; officials have found no evidence of "heavy" drug or alcohol use.
