GCSO releases ID in death investigation

On Wednesday, June 29, 2016, Greene County Sheriff's Deputies conducted a death investigation in the 2900 block of West Bonita Street in northern Greene County; road maintenance workers from the Greene County Highway Department called 9-1-1 to report someone trapped under a zero turn lawn mower.

Deputies identified 84-year old Jimmy Young who lived in the neighborhood as the deceased male.

"Mr. Young was mowing along uneven terrain near a ditch, a storm drain and heavy brush," states Sheriff Jim Arnott. "This was a very unfortunate, tragic accident."

GCSO Detectives were present during the autopsy performed today by the Greene County Medical Examiner to determine the official cause of death.
