Christopher Coleman’s Death at Abandoned Columbus Car Wash Ruled a Homicide by Franklin County Coroner

Christopher Coleman’s bones were found at an abandoned car wash last month, and the Franklin County Coroner’s Office has determined that his death was a homicide. WBNS reported that Coleman, 53, was discovered dead in a car wash bay in the 1500 block of Holt Road in southwest Columbus.

Sergeant Joe Albert of the Columbus Police called in homicide detectives to take over the investigation after the grim discovery was made late on October 9 and his body revealed advanced decomposition. He spoke to WBNS last month, outlining their preliminary findings, which the autopsy report later confirmed were blunt impacts to the head, triggering a homicide investigation.

According to FOX8, autopsy results that were made public added to the gory scenario by revealing that Coleman’s death included post-mortem mutilation, bone and soft tissue damage, and blunt force trauma to the skull. Coleman’s body was discovered at the location of the former Super Wash, which had been encircled by a chain link fence and allowed to deteriorate for a long time.

One month before to the murder, Coleman was charged with disorderly conduct, according to information about his activities. Although they remained silent because the investigation is still underway, the Columbus Division of Police acknowledged that Coleman’s death is being investigated as a homicide. But as FOX8 points out, they don’t have any more details.

Authorities in the area are looking for information that can help explain Coleman’s premature death. According to News Center 7 and other local media, officials are urging anyone who knows anything about the incident to come forward and get in touch with Columbus Police. The public’s feedback is expected to help investigators piece together the series of events that led to the tragedy that transpired in the abandoned car wash’s dismal surroundings.
