The Hall County Sheriff's Office has identified the body in an ongoing investigation of a death Wednesday morning.

Officials said deputies responded to a call about a man found dead at a home at approximately 10 a.m. on the 4000 block of Talmo Road — near on Ga. Highway 60 and Candler Road. According to investigators, workers found 53-year-old Richard Clay Moon dead outside the home and called 911.

On Wednesday, police said Moon's body showed evidence of blunt force trauma. Investigators now believe he died within a day of when his body was found.

While detectives are following multiple leads, officials say there is no danger to the public.

At this time, investigators say they considered it a suspicious death and have not ruled out homicide. However, there are no suspects at this time.
