ATLANTA — The family of 8-year-old Noah Bush and their supporters are sending a bus to the metro Atlanta area to pick up supporters for a Walk for Justice in Jesup.

The 8-year-old died about a month ago and was found in a pit on May 16.

While the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the death, they said they have not found evidence of foul play.

However, Bush’s family said they don’t believe he drowned in the pit because he was afraid of deep water.

Bush was found in a no-trespass area near his home, with the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office saying the boy took off his shoes and wandered into the water, where he drowned. His family has hired a private investigator to look into the circumstances surrounding his death, and the sheriff’s office has requested the Georgia Bureau of Investigation assist in their investigation.

“The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office has asked the GBI to assist in a limited investigative capacity.  By state law, the Sheriff’s Office would have to make a request for the GBI to investigate before we could proceed further.”
