An investigation is underway following the discovery of a deceased man near a creek at 1004 Peachtree Battle Circle NW. According to a release by the Atlanta Police Department, officers responded to the scene yesterday, after receiving a call about an unresponsive individual. The 38-year-old male's identity has yet to be released to the public.
Upon officers' arrival, they confirmed that the individual was indeed deceased, initiating an examination of the site for clues and evidence noting there wasn't an immediate evidence of violence or harm that could point towards foul play, yet the Homicide Unit was engaged to assist with the investigation while ensuring nothing was overlooked in the process. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office has since taken custody of the body and an autopsy will be performed to determine the definitive cause and manner of death.
The Atlanta Police Department has not provided any additional statements at this time, but they urge anyone with information to come forward. This story is developing, and local residents are hoping for a swift and thorough resolution.
