Man found hanged at La Quinta Inn
By Lynn Proctor Windle, Staff Writer
A man was found hanged early Thursday morning at the La Quinta Inn located in the 1800 block of U.S. 75.
Police are withholding identification of the victim pending notification of relatives.
A witness who described himself as an acquaintance of the victim said he found the body at about 5 a.m.
Ahrens said the victim was released from the hospital on Wednesday morning. With no transportation, the victim called Ahrens asking for a ride to his home in Hillsboro. Ahrens said when he realized he would be unable to drive the man home that evening, he put him up for the night in the motel. Ahrens said the man appeared depressed.
Ahrens said he returned early the next morning to find the man hanging from the second-story balcony outside the building. Athens said he first called a friend and then called 911.
Police said no cause of death has been determined and an investigation is ongoing.
