Man found dead, decomposing on Birmingham roadside not a victim of homicide
An autopsy on a man found dead and decomposing on the side of a Birmingham busy road showed no signs of foul play.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office on Monday identified the man as Torrey Blaine Goode. He was 55 and lived in Birmingham.
Shortly before 6:30 p.m. Thursday, West Precinct officers received a call of a person possibly dead across the street from Chevron at 490 Forestdale Boulevard.
Officers arrived to find Goode dead. He was in a grassy area just feet from the road.
Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said an autopsy was performed on Friday. The cause of death is pending additional laboratory studies.
