MACON, Ga. — A man who was reported missing Friday has been found dead.

According to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a call right before 7:30 p.m. Saturday of a body found in a clearing of an overgrown field near Broadway and Greter Street.

His family reported him missing on Friday. He was last seen by family members Thursday when he left to make a vehicle payment, according to a press release.
