Case Details

According to source,

The death of a Chatsworth man whose body was found in Gordon County earlier this year has been ruled “an accidental death as a result of methamphetamine intoxication” following a toxicology report by the state crime lab, according to Gordon County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Robert Paris.

The body of Caleb Nathaniel Smith, 21, was found on February 2, 2020 by a person in a “poorly drained, heavily overgrown area,” between the Sugar Valley and Hill City communities, according to a February press release from the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office.

Family members reported Smith missing to the sheriff’s office on January 16, 2020 after his automobile and personal items were found at a truck stop in Resaca. That press release said the “autopsy revealed no indications of violence or evidence of foul play” and investigators were awaiting the toxicology report.
