Man Found Dead in Springdale Heights Home

Decatur Metro | May 12, 2012

Judd sends along this link to a Fox5 report…

A 55-year-old man was found dead in a Decatur neighborhood on Friday and authorities are now calling it a homicide. [DeKalb] investigators cordoned off an area on Sycamore Drive and Bridlewood Circle in the Decatur Heights subdivision after discovering the body of David Johns.

Police went to the home after Johns’ employer called police to check on him after he didn’t show up for work on Thursday or Friday.

The Decatur Heights Neighborhood blog also has a report of events.   The death occurred just outside the Decatur city limits, so the investigation is being conducted by DeKalb Police.
