(Updated) UGA professor George Zinkhan's body found, investigators say

Body to be sent to state crime lab; press conference scheduled for 3 p.m.

UPDATE: Investigators have confirmed a body discovered earlier today in a heavily wooded area of Oconee County is George Zinkhan's.

Investigators tell the AJC that Zinkhan dug a grave, covered his body with debris, and then shot himself in the head.

Zinkhan is the UGA professor accused of killing three people — including his wife, Marie Bruce — at a community theater retreat near downtown Athens, Ga., two weeks ago.
