He said the death was still under investigation and he could not release further information at this time.

In an unrelated incident, the body of a 77 year old man, Charles Alexander, from Columbus, Ga., was found deceased in his car, on the shoulder of the south bound lane of US Interstate I-65, near the 114 mile marker by an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Trooper on Thursday, September, 17.

According to Bond, Alexander may have been deceased for a couple of days. He stated the body of Alexander was also taken to the state forensic lab for an autopsy.

No other information is available.
