The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is still awaiting the autopsy results for the body of a man who was found hanging from a tree last week in North Georgia.
A hiker found the body of 29-year-old Trevonte Jamal Shubert-Helton on a trail not far from High Shoals Falls in the Swallow Creek Wildlife Management Area on Feb. 21.
After the hiker reported the discovery to the Towns County Sheriff’s Office that afternoon, local authorities, as well as the Georgia Natural Department of Resources, called in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to assist in the investigation.
In a press release, GBI investigators stated that Shubert-Helton’s death appears to be an isolated incident based on a preliminary investigation. State authorities also said Shubert-Helton was by himself at the wildlife management area.
