Man found dead in Manchester pool

An autopsy is being performed on the body of a Manchester, Ga., man pulled from a swimming pool Monday evening more than a week after he disappeared during a party at the residence.

Meriwether County Coroner Johnny Worley pronounced Freddie Rogers, 33, who lived off Martin Luther King Boulevard, dead at 7 p.m. Monday at a house in the 1600 block of Gilbert Road, Worley said.

"The swimming pool was an in-ground pool full of water," Worley said Wednesday. "It had been unattended for a while and the water had turned green. He probably had gone in at the time of a party on Friday night, Nov. 16. It was a big party. They just couldn't see him at the bottom, not until the body came up."

Worley said Rogers was not missed until later and was not reported missing until the next Saturday. He said Rogers moved around a lot.

"When we examined him at the scene, we did not see anything that we thought was any type of foul play," Worley said.

The body was sent to a state crime laboratory in Atlanta for an autopsy.
