COOSA, Ga. (AP) - Authorities in northwest Georgia are awaiting autopsy results on skeletal remains that were found during a search for a missing man over the weekend.

Floyd County police Cpl. Mary Catherine Parris tells the Rome News-Tribune (https://bit.ly/1qcZ1c0 ) authorities are unsure of how the man died or if foul play may have been a factor.
