STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. (AP) — The man who whose burned body was found near the top of Stone Mountain outside Atlanta died by suicide, authorities said Sunday.
The body was found near the top of the mountain Saturday morning after a hiker who discovered it called 911, Stone Mountain Park Police spokesperson John Bankhead said.
Police determined the man died by suicide after his parents found a note with details about how and where he planned to kill himself. Police also obtained his driver’s license and determined he was a white male in his late 20s.
The body was taken to the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office and his death is being investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Stone Mountain is outside Atlanta and features a giant carving of Confederate leaders Gen. Robert E. Lee, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson on its northern face.
