A badly decomposed body was pulled from the Chattahoochee River this afternoon, according to the Cobb County Police Department.
Investigators were called to the scene, just south of I-20 near Austell, shortly before 3 p.m. after a boater spotted the body and called 911, Sgt. Dana Pierce with Cobb police said.
No information on the person’s identity was available due to the state of decomposition, according to police. An autopsy will be conducted.
The body found today is the second in the Chattahoochee River in three days. Saturday morning, Gee Hang, 56, of Johns Creek, was found dead in the area between Abbotts Bridge and State Bridge roads, according to police. Her cause of death was ruled a drowning.
