The autopsy has been completed on former Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson, the GBI said Wednesday. But no preliminary findings were released and likely won’t be until the toxicology testing is completed, which could take up to three months.
“It’s sort of like a jigsaw puzzle, and you’ve got to have all of the pieces together to make a determination,” Coweta County Coroner Richard Hawk told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday.
Hanson, 29, died late Monday at Piedmont Hospital, one day after he was found not breathing at a friend’s Newnan-area home, according to police. Brandon Bond called 911 Sunday morning to report Hanson was not breathing, a Coweta County Sheriff’s Office report states.
