    1. In Murray v. Taylor, 130 Ga. App. 129 ( 202 S.E.2d 512) we held that the South Carolina statute of limitation controlled this suit for wrongful death which allegedly occurred in South Carolina. The Supreme Court reversed and held that the Georgia statute applied to this case. Taylor v. Murray, 231 Ga. 852 ( 204 S.E.2d 747).

  4. Hughes v. Doe

    In Hughes v. Doe, 281 S.C. 488, 316 S.E.2d 383 (1984), the South Carolina Supreme Court confronted a similar factual situation and disallowed a wrongful death claim barred by the Georgia limitations period.

    We now discuss the second question: Is the Georgia two year statute of limitations applicable? In Taylor v. Murray, 231 Ga. 852, 204 S.E.2d 747 (1974), rev'g 130 Ga. App. 129, 202 S.E.2d 512 (1973), the Georgia Supreme Court stated: In our opinion the Georgia two-year limitation of action for wrongful death is the public policy of this state.
