Investigators with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) are working to identify a man found dead over the weekend in a wooded area on Aviation Boulevard.

The body was discovered just before 11:30 a.m. Saturday, October 14, in a wooded area between the parking lot of the Department of Driver Services (DDS) and Queen City Parkway. A customer made the discovery while walking on the property and alerted DDS employees, who called 911.

The body, believed to be that of an adult white male, was in an advanced state of decomposition, a press release from the Hall County Sheriff’s Office says.

The body was transported to the GBI Crime Lab for autopsy to determine his cause of death.
