Published on: 08/29/07Richard Jewell, the Centennial Olympic Park security guard once suspected — but later cleared — in the bombing of the park during the 1996 Summer Games, was found dead Wednesday in his home in Meriwether County. He was 44.
County coroner Johnny Worley said Jewell’s wife discovered him dead in their Woodbury home at about 10:30 a.m., and he was pronounced dead by Worley about 45 minutes later.
Worley said an autopsy would be performed by the GBI to determine how Jewell died, but added there was “no suspicion of foul play.
“He had been having some pretty serious medical problems,” Worley said.
He said Jewell had been diagnosed with diabetes in February and had a couple of toes amputated.
“He had been going downhill ever since,” Worley said.

He was a nice guy and loved to fish. Met him at a fly shop/fishing store in Atlanta.
Sad that he passed so young. Sad what the mediatards did to him.
