cherokeewoman Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Crime scene tape, medical examiners, and police in the area of Ivey Gulledge and Colbert Road.... late Friday afternoon, from what I have heard joggers found a person that was hung from a tree in a cul de sac in a undeveloped development? Does anyone know what happened? How does one hang themselves from a tree? I thought there would be something here on this. Has anyone heard what could have happened? Link to post Share on other sites
mei lan Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Wouldn't that have been in the news? Not saying it didn't happen, but that's a pretty gruesome story that would have made a splash I should think. RE: hanging one's self, in the movies, they stand on a chair and kick it out from under themselves. Link to post Share on other sites

UnionMom Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 ... How does one hang themselves from a tree?... Climb the tree, tie the rope, jump. Link to post Share on other sites
luvtennis5 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I haven't heard this either, and this is close to my area. Looks like that would of made news. Link to post Share on other sites
lucky64 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) That's behind my house. The underdeveloped development, we can see the only house built in there. Not all murders, suicide from this town hit the tv. Edited March 21, 2010 by Lucky64 Link to post Share on other sites
rpw143 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I also live close to this area. Did this really happen? Link to post Share on other sites
lucky64 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Wouldn't someone from Friday night post this because they would have heard it on the scanner? I know, when I went to the store on the corner of Old Cartersville road and Ivy Gulledge, the girl asked me what was going on and why all the officers and such where going down that road. I know that was some time in the afternoon or early evening. Edited March 21, 2010 by Lucky64 Link to post Share on other sites
PsychoMom Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 What happened to the incident reports they used to run on here? It would be there. Link to post Share on other sites
lucky64 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Is this one of those times they are keeping things hush, hush? Pending investigation? Link to post Share on other sites
katcol Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Can't believe a p.i. can get caught working a case but we hear nothing about this. Very strange. I guess it's being kept under wraps, like Lucky said.? Link to post Share on other sites

bellaprincess Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Sherrif said they havent heard anything but to call back in the morning and ask for investigations. hopw this helps. They haven't "heard anything" LOL... I would think we are not so big a county that if it did happen they would not have heard! Thank you for calling. I really do hope it is not true!

Boss Hogg Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Corporal Gurley just sent the following report. TV news stations did call to inquire about this "death investigation." The media usually does not cover suicide. Once they learned that the early indication was "possible suicide" they chose not to cover the story. I informed them that I would contact them if the investigation indicated otherwise. Stories of public interest in our county does get covered by the media. However, they never cover these types of cases unless it involves a high profile individual or other sensational event. This incident appears to be an isolated event and does not lead us to believe that there is a cause for public alarm. Link to post Share on other sites
lucky64 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Okay so it was a suicide? Am I reading that right? Prayers for the family. Cherokeewoman generally only posts very late at night or very early in the morning. Hopefully she'll chime in again this evening or early tomorrow morning. Thank you!

Thanks Boss Hogg for the information.... prayers for the family.... rumors true, just thought it was strange that some one would go to this area and hang theirselves from a tree, and could not understand how they could do it on their own....just a strange situation in a close area....

BP CSR Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Does anybody know whether this was a man or woman? From personal experience, someone who is very dear to me (and I hope that I am not making light of the situation) husband was so despondent that he did exactly the same thing. Just walked into the woods and hanged himself. I hope this person was found quickly and not for days. Sad, just so sad. Prayers for the family who has to deal with this. There will be so many questions they will ask themselves and so much blame that needs to be dealt with. Nobody can save someone who is determined to commit suicide. Link to post Share on other sites
Georgia Dawg Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 reason #42 that i don't jog. Me too. I'd hate to be jogging along and have a rope fall out of a tree and wrap itself around my neck. I think I saw that on a movie one time. Link to post Share on other sites
gamom26 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Me too. I'd hate to be jogging along and have a rope fall out of a tree and wrap itself around my neck. I think I saw that on a movie one time. His name was Don. He was a really nice man who 5 years ago had good life. Nice house, beautiful wife, a job.... but things change. He drank a little too much and lost everything either through his addiction or the bad economy. He had lost everything and was living out in the woods behind the new school. His ex wife found out he was staying back there and walked over to check on him and discovered his body. A really sad situation. My prayers go out to the family. Link to post Share on other sites
michelay1000 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 A really sad situation. My prayers go out to the family. My prayers go out to his family as well. May he RIP. Link to post Share on other sites

MJF Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 So Sad... Thing could get much worse for all of us when the un-employment benefits run out. 6 million American's are outta work and more. They keep extending them but when it runs out, lots of folks will be in bigger trouble. sorry to be so depression this early in the day. WOW, Hopefully he is in a better place... but who knows?
