Officials are

still trying to determine the cause of death of Coweta County planner

Robert Tolleson's son Tuesday morning.

Blake Tolleson,

15, was discovered dead Tuesday when his parents went to wake him up,

said Coweta County administrator Theron Gay.

Tolleson was

on the Central of Carrollton High School football team and had practiced

with the team Monday afternoon.

"He had

a slight injury to his nose, but he came home and everything was fine

Monday night," Gay said.

The family

is devastated and Gay said Tolleson and his son were very close.

"They

used to do all sorts of things together," he said.

Because of

Tolleson's age, the body was sent to the State Crime Lab for an autopsy

to determine the official cause of death.

Before Tuesday's

Coweta County Commission meeting, the board asked for a moment of silence

for the Tolleson family.

Robert Tolleson

was slated to receive an award at the meeting for his 15 years of service

to the county.

Arrangements

were not available at press time.
