Body Found Outside Floyd County Motel – UPDATED

BUDGET INN

Floyd County Police investigators are trying to determine whether a body discovered behind a Rome motel Monday night is the result of a homicide.

A driver on Martha Berry Highway spotted a body behind the Budget Inn in North Rome about 9:30 pm Monday and called 9-1-1.

Arriving police found the body of Steven Williams, age 55, face-down in a drainage ditch.

Floyd Deputy Coroner Gene Proctor pronounced him dead at the scene.

Williams’ death has not been declared a homicide at this time and his body has been sent to the GBI Crime Lab for an autopsy.

Proctor says the deceased suffered facial injuries but it was hard to tell if foul play was involved. Williams had lived at the Budget Inn for about six years.
