A Dalton, Ga., man who had murder charges against him dismissed in November was found dead in his grandmother’s basement.

Authorities believe he died of natural causes.

A family member found 34-year-old Bryan Dennington on his couch Friday, days after he last was seen alive, Dalton Police Department spokesman Bruce Frazier said.

Dennington had lived in his grandmother’s basement for several years.

There were no obvious signs of trauma to his body, Whitfield County Coroner Bobbie Dixon said. Dennington’s toxicology report was sent to the crime lab and won’t be available for several weeks, she said.
