Banks County deputies discovered a dead body at a home just south of Homer early Thursday morning.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Carissa McFaddin tells Now Habersham that authorities initially went to the house on McDonald Circle around 1 AM “to conduct a welfare check.”
“The occupants of the residence allowed deputies entry into the residence where they located a deceased person.” McFaddin explains.
She says Banks County Sheriff Carlton Speed has brought in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to “investigate the incident and the events surrounding it.”
“Individuals are currently being questioned regarding the death,” McFaddin says. “The body has been sent to the GBI Crime Lab for identification and autopsy.”
The investigation is currently centered around a house in the 1100 block of McDonald Circle about 4 miles south of Homer off old highway 441 near Banks County High School.
McFaddin says, “Additional information will be forthcoming as the investigation progresses.”
