(Cleveland)- White County authorities are investigating the death of an elderly couple at a campground in the county.
On July 29 at around 3:45 pm the White County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to Yonah Mountain Campground off Helen Highway north of Cleveland in reference to a welfare check advised Captain Rick Kelley in a news release. According to Kelley, the welfare check was for an older couple that lives in a camper on the property who had not been seen in several days.
Deputies made entry into a camper located on Fleetwood Road and found two bodies inside the camper deceased. According to Kelley, the bodies had been deceased for several days.
The sheriff’s office requested the assistance of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations Crime Scene Unit to process the scene. The two bodies were sent to the crime lab for an autopsy.
There is no foul play suspected at this time pending autopsy results.
“The next of kin have not been notified yet so we are not going to release the names at this time,” said Kelley.
The Sheriff’s Office is following up with the case.
