The death of a man whose body was discovered behind a Campbellton Road business late Sunday morning does not appear to be suspicious, an investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The man was found dead, lying on his back, behind a liquor store at the intersection of Campbellton and Childress Drive in southwest Atlanta just before noon Sunday.

An autopsy was planned for Monday to determine how the man died.
