The body of a man found in the Coosa River near Heritage Park Monday afternoon has now been identified as that of a Calhoun man; according to Floyd County Coroner Gene Proctor the body – which had apparently been in the water for several days – was that of 56 year old Billy Brock.

Rome Fire Department Officials pulled the body from the water at about 3:30 Monday afternoon, after pedestrians on the Chief John Ross Bridge spotted it upstream in the Oostanaula.

The body has since been transported to the GBI Crime Lab in Atlanta for an autopsy – it remains unclear at this time whether or not foul play was involved in the man’s death.
