The owner of a summer residence near Center Hill Lake returned home Tuesday after being away for several months and found a badly decomposed body of a man inside the premises.

The body has been sent to Nashville for an autopsy. The man’s identity has not yet been confirmed.

Sheriff Patrick Ray issued the following statement:

“On Tuesday February 1, 2022, at 11:08 p.m., DeKalb Central Dispatch received a call from a person on Captains Point Road stating he found a dead body at his residence.

Officers arrived on the scene and discovered a badly decomposed body of a man in a detached sunroom of the residence. The homeowner stated he had not been to the residence since November 1st 2021.

Sheriff Ray said “We believe the body of the man is someone we are familiar with. It appeared the man had been living in the sunroom without the owner’s consent. The residence is a summer home and no one stays at the residence full time. The body has been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Nashville for a positive I.d. and a cause of death.”
