LAGRANGE, Ga. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the circumstances of a man’s death after discovering his body in northern Troup County.
Troup County sheriff’s officials say 39-year-old Jerry L. Folds of Franklin was found dead on property off Hammett Road shortly after 5 a.m. Saturday.
The LaGrange Daily News reports (https://bit.ly/1CJJb0O) that investigators believe Folds may have been the victim of foul play.
Sheriff’s officials say deputies initially responded to the location after being called by the Franklin Police Department to conduct a check for the man’s safety. When they arrived, they found Folds’ truck unoccupied and came upon his body a short time later.
An autopsy on Folds’ body is planned.
