Police are investigating after a man’s body was found near a Henry County community swimming pool Thursday afternoon.

The man was discovered lying face-down in the Pembrooke Park subdivision about 3:40 p.m. with a gunshot wound, Henry County police Capt. Randy Lee told Channel 2 Action News. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
