The Hall County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of a man who was found dead behind a business on Atlanta Highway despite being unable to contact the man’s relatives.
The body of Hung Van Le, 61, was found on Oct. 2. According to a press release from the agency, Le was homeless and known to frequent the area where his body was found. Authorities have treated his death as a murder.
Typically, the agency would not release the name of a deceased victim until next of kin can be notified, but investigators have exhausted all means to find Le’s relatives. They hope one of his friends or acquaintances may be able to help investigators contact next of kin.
As of now, investigators continue to await autopsy results before releasing a cause of death. There are no suspects in the murder at this time.
Anyone who has information to share with investigators should call 770-503-3232. Tips can remain anonymous.
