Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Effingham County state court Judge Stephen Yekel was discovered dead in a courtroom on Tuesday, coinciding with the end of his judicial term.
  • The cause of death was confirmed as a self-inflicted gunshot wound by the authorities.
  • Yekel's body was found by a deputy between 10:00 am and 10:30 am, with preliminary investigations suggesting the incident might have occurred the previous night.
  • Having served in the legal profession for over 45 years, Yekel lost his re-election bid earlier in the year and had attempted to resign, a request denied by Governor Brian Kemp.
  • The Effingham County Sheriff’s Office is conducting the investigation, with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation set to perform an autopsy.
