Identified! MS - Wayne County, Human remains discovered, Nov'09 - Kenny Gandy

Wayne County Coroner David Pugh said Thursday that DNA specialist results were back and the remains had been identified as those of Kenny Gandy of Waynesboro.

Officials said the autopsy confirmed that the person did not die of natural causes.

Wayne County Deputy Coroner Mike Williams said the cause of death, according to the autopsy report, was “one gunshot wound to the head.”

On Nov. 5th, 2009, officials with the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department and the Wayne County Coroner’s Office were reportedly called to a wooded area concerning the discovery.

Officials said the discovery was made by some hunters in a wooded area in the Pleasant Grove Community off of Highway 45 North going toward Shubuta in Clarke County.

In August, the Waynesboro Police Department announced that it was looking into the disappearance of a 23-year-old Waynesboro man who reportedly went missing in late July after being dropped off at a location not far from his Turner Street home.
