Athens man committed suicide by hanging

By Joe Johnson

A 28-year-old Athens man earlier this month committed suicide by hanging.

His grandfather found him in a storage building on their property.

He told police that the last time he saw his grandson was the day before when he confronted him about money that was taken from his account through several transactions.
