ATLANTA

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Monday it was seeking to determine the cause of death of a 20-year-old man after his body was found dumped in a trash bin 90 miles from his metro Atlanta home.

Autopsy results were incomplete but the death of LeShon Douglas Jr. of Snellville "is being investigated as a homicide," said Rodney Wall, special agent in charge of the GBI office in Columbus.

Douglas's partially clothed body was found Wednesday by a waste collector on Ga. 137 in Butler, between Columbus and Macon. Taylor County Coroner Gary Lowe said the body had been in the trash bin for up to 10 hours.

Wall said toxicology tests and other lab results were pending.

Douglas, who was training to be a hair stylist according to his family, died somewhere else and was dumped in Butler, Wall said, adding the man was last seen March 13 just days before the body was discovered.

"We are trying to determine who he was with last," the investigator said.

LeShon Douglas Sr. of Marietta said his son loved music and theater. He had played tuba in the marching band at Pebblebrook High School in Mableton.
