An autopsy will be conducted at the Georgi Bureau of Investigation's State Crime Lab.

There was also this week a drug related death at Satterfield Park, just a hypodermic shot away from south Clarke Park. Could be an epidemic.

Athens-Clarke police are investigating the death of a Hall County man found dead Thursday morning inside Southeast Clarke Park off Whit Davis Road.

Athens-Clarke County Coroner Sonny Wilson said Friday that an investigation is underway to determine the cause of death of 34-year-old Jamey Thomas Vitkus.

Vitkus was homeless in Athens, but is originally from Oakwood.

Police reported that a purple crystal-like substances was recovered at the scene, which indicates a possible drug overdose and possibly the use of fentanyl.

A park employee reported finding the body at about 7:25 a.m. in front of the men’s restroom, according to the report.
