Sandy Springs man found dead under own car

A Sandy Springs man was found dead underneath his own car Sunday morning.

Sandy Springs police Capt. Keith Zgonc told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that authorities responded to Greenbriar Road, a residential street just north of I-285, at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday. They found a man, identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office as 31-year-old Brent M. Wiley, deceased underneath his car.

Wiley was “visiting the location,” Zgonc said. What may have happened was not immediately clear.

The Sandy Springs police traffic unit is investigating, Zgonc said.
