A woman’s body was found at Toccoa Motel located off South Pond Street late Monday morning after she didn’t check out at the appointed time, according to Toccoa Police Chief Bruce Carlisle.

Carlisle said the GBI has been brought in to investigate “as a precaution,” though no foul play is expected at this time.

The woman’s body was sent to the state crime lab for an autopsy. Her name has not been released.
