SAINT SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — The Glynn County Police Department wants to "reassure" their community they are investigating the death of 35-year-old Michael Rose. A release from GCPD says there has been speculation on social media over how Rose died.
According to GCPD, Rose died in the early morning hours of July 22 on St. Simons Island. They are investigating the "circumstances" of his death. In a press release, GCPD refers to his death as "unattended," meaning no one was there when he died and his body was not found immediately.
At this time, evidence gathered from "extensive" work by GCPD has not yielded a cause of death. GCPD also says Rose's autopsy has not provided an answer at this time.
Still, "detectives are working diligently to determine the facts surrounding Rose's death."
They are asking that if you know where he was the morning of his death, you call 912-554-7802 for the Criminal Investigations Division, the GCPD non-emergency number at 912-554-3645, or report it anonymously to Silent Witness by calling 912-264-1333.
