The White County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are probing the death of a 66-year-old White County man.
White County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Bob Ingram said they were notified of the death by 9-1-1 dispatch around 6 p.m. Wednesday.
"The body of Wayne Alexander, 66-year-old male, was discovered deceased at his residence - 30 Craven Road," Ingram said.
Ingram said the death is being investigated as a homicide.
The body was taken to the State Crime Laboratory in Atlanta for an autopsy.
According to Ingram, Alexander’s body was discovered by his ex-wife, who had been checking with him each day because of physical problems he had.
