Loganville Man Could Have Been Killed by Trash Compactor
Georgia Bureau of Investigations looking at the possibility that the body of a Loganville man found in the Monroe Transfer Station might not necessarily have been a homicide.
An agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations said while they haven't ruled out homicide in the death of 59-year-old Raul C. Alayon, a Loganville man originally from Uruguay, they are looking at all options.
Those options include the possibility Alayon could have been killed by a trash compactor.
"There were no other visible signs of stabbing or a gunshot wound," said GBI Agent Jesse Maddox. "He died of blunt force trauma to his entire body."
