Update from Sheriff Mike Rainey:
Fredrick William Galin 71 years of age. We are investigating it as a homicide. Cause of death unknown at this time.
CULLMAN – According to Cullman County Sheriff Mike Rainey, 71-year-old Fredrick William Galin was found deceased in his home on St. Joseph Dr. Thursday evening, prompting authorities to treat the situation as a possible homicide.
“The man’s caregiver came to the home earlier this evening. When the man could not be reached the caregiver called the police department,” Sheriff Rainey said.
Once officials arrived on scene, officers had to make a forcible entry into the residence, where the elderly gentleman was found.
“They forced their way in and he was deceased there inside the door. At this time we do suspect foul play but as far as cause of death we don’t have that right now,” he said.
