Police: Body identified as burglary suspect

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Police in Douglasville have positively identified a body as a suspect who led them on a chase two weeks ago.

The badly decomposed remains of 55-year-old Henry Hudson were discovered behind bushes in the Hunters Ridge subdivision on May 19.

Five days earlier, police were called to a house just a short distance away for a burglary.

His body was found four days later, just 350 yards from the burglary scene.

The cause of death has not been released.
