Body found in Fort Valley

FORT VALLEY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Fort Valley police are looking for answers after finding a body on Tuesday.

They were called after someone saw the body in a wooded area off Davidson Drive.

Peach County Coroner Kerry Rooks says the person appeared to have been dead for “at least a week, maybe two weeks.” Rooks was unable to determine the person’s age or sex because the body was so decomposed.

According to a Facebook post by the Fort Valley Department of Public Safety, the body was sent to the GBI Crime Lab for identification and to determine cause of death.
