21-year-old’s body found inside his car in woods; suicide suspected
A 21-year-old Houston student missing two weeks from classes at Georgia Tech in Atlanta was found dead Saturday in his car, apparently from suicide, a Texas search group leader said.
“It appears to be suicide,” Tim Miller, director of Dickinson-based Texas EquuSearch, said after Daniel Compton’s body was found inside his 1998 Honda Civic in a wooded area off a remote road about 20 miles south of Atlanta, near a town named McDonough.
Miller said it fell to him to tell Daniel Compton’s father, Jim, that his son was dead.
“He broke down and cried,” Miller said. “He said he could not believe it.”
