He would have been about 37 years old. Would some kind person with access to the newspaper archive in an actual library please see if this newspaper is available for a couple of days before that date? As a police officer, my guess is that something happened to him while on duty. So rather than an obituary, I'm guessing that this would be discussed in a regular article in The Atlanta Consititution. I have searched on Ancestry but they only have October in that year. Thank you so much in advance for any effort to help unravel this mystery.
