A LaFayette girl was found dead in a blanket on a relative’s couch around noon Wednesday, according to police.
Lt. Robby Tate said the girl was 15, but her identity has not been released pending notification of family members.
The girl’s body has been taken to the crime lab in Atlanta for testing, he said. There were no visible signs of trauma.
Lt. Tate said there were people in the house who had assumed the girl was sleeping and left the house in the morning before the girl’s death was discovered.
A cause of death has not been determined.
