Authorities investigating body found on Allied Drive in south Columbus
Authorities are investigating a body found in a wooded area near Allied Drive and Old Cusseta Road.
The victim has been identified as 63 year old Danny Odom, Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan said.
A friend of Odom’s found the body lying in the woods and alerted authorities. The area is known as a “tent city” where homeless people take shelter, he said.
Odom likely died from natural causes, Bryan said. An autopsy will be performed to determine an exact cause of death.
