 SunTrust Park

The body of a third-party contractor was discovered inside of a walk-in beer cooler at SunTrust Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. Another worker from the same company found the body just a few hours before the first pitch of a game against the Cincinnati Reds. 

Cobb County police spokeswoman Sarah O'Hara said that foul played has not been ruled out, and until the autopsy is complete, they will not know if this was an accident, homicide, or suicide. 

"From there they'll decide if it's a homicide, or accidental, suicidal. There's many avenues it could go, but at this time, we're just gathering information."

Police are interviewing concession workers and said that the Atlanta Braves are fully cooperating with the investigation. 

Authorities have confirmed the identity of the deceased worker, but will not release his name until his family has been notified.
