GCPD said it is aware that “social media is fueling speculation about the circumstances surrounding Rose’s death” but added that all the evidence available as well as the coroner’s autopsy report does not support any conclusion about the cause of his death at this time.
According to The Brunswick News, police said Rose had been at a bar on St. Simons Island until late Sunday night went home either late Sunday or early Monday morning. He was found dead less than 48 hours later inside the home. Police said that at this point they don’t believe the death was a suicide, but it’s still under investigation.
GCPD said once the investigation is complete, more information will be provided.
Any person with additional knowledge of Rose’s whereabouts during the early morning hours of Monday, July 22, is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at (912) 554-7802, non-emergency at (912) 554-3645, or may report it anonymously via Silent Witness at (912) 264-1333.
