Police ID Dead Man Found in Peachtree Corners

Gwinnett County Police released the name of the man discovered behind a business off Technology Parkway last week.

It's been 10 days since the body of a white male was found behind an office building on Technology Parkway and today Gwinnett County Police has released the man's identity.

The Homicide Unit has positively identified the man found Monday, Aug. 13, as 39-year-old Ronald Corona from Pennsylvania, said Cpl. Edwin Ritter, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department. Ritter said Corona had been temporarily living temporarily in the Gwinnett area since November 2011.

Corona had been found early Monday behind an office at 25 Technology Parkway. The Homicide Unit had initially been called to investigate when police discovered several injuries to the victim's head. However, after a medical examination, it was determined the man did not die from his injuries.

Ritter said that it would be several weeks before the toxicology reports are complete which will determine how the man died.
