COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - The Muscogee County Coroner’s Office has received the autopsy results for a body pulled from the Chattahoochee River, according to Chief Deputy Coroner Freeman Worley.

A ruling on the manner of death has not yet been made as they await both a positive identification of the body and a toxicology report, which usually takes three months.
Officials said this is not being investigated as a homicide.
This is the 4th drowning in the Chattahoochee River in 2019, which according to Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan, is around average.
