The mother of a 24-year-old man whose body was found by the side of I-75 in Bartow County suspects foul play in her son's death, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Mack Griggs' body was discovered Wednesday morning near exit 283 in Emerson.
Family members said the coroner told them Griggs had sustained severe trauma to his face.
GBI has not ruled the death a homicide, telling Channel 2 the investigation is still in its early phase.
Griggs worked as a server in an Atlanta restaurant and lived in Midtown.

His mother, Sherry Griggs, told Channel 2 that her son was supposed to get a ride to a childhood friend’s home with a coworker’s cousin and a man he didn’t know, but never arrived.
"I didn't want to think it was him, but I knew that night when I had a dream about him, going to view his body," she said.
Griggs said she believed someone killed her son, and expressed hope the person would be brought to justice.
