Still no cause of death has been determined in the case of a woman whose body was found in a guest room at the Toccoa Motel. The woman, identified by the Stephens County Coroner’s Office as Lynn Bothwell of Toccoa, was found dead on March 31.
Stephens County Chief Deputy Coroner Lee Woody says his office is still awaiting autopsy results. He says the 54-year-old Bothwell’s “cause of death is pending.”
Toccoa Police Chief Bruce Carlisle says his department asked the GBI to investigate Bothwell’s death “as a precaution.” Authorities sent Bothwell’s body to the state crime lab for an autopsy. However, Chief Carlisle said at the time, they did not suspect foul play.
