Body found in Rockdale woods

Rockdale County authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying a body found Sunday night.

The Rockdale Sheriff’s Office responded to a call of a fire in a wooded area off Highway 212 near Susong Road just after 6 p.m. and found a body burning in a small brush fire, sheriff’s investigator Michael Camp said in a statement Monday.

The body is believed to be a male, but no other identifying information is available.

No cause of death has been determined, but officials said they are treating the death as suspicious, pending autopsy results.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 770-278-8000.
