Officials release identity of man killed in Friday explosion in White County

CLEVELAND — White County Coroner Ricky Barrett says the man who died in Friday's house explosion in Mt. Yonah Scenic Estates is Edgar Brummett, 71, of Sautee.

Brummett's identity was confirmed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation State Crime Lab in Decatur on Tuesday, Barrett said, adding the delay in positive identification was due to a backlog of cases at the lab.

A memorial service for Brummett will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Sylvan Valley Lodge on Duncan Bridge Road in Sautee.
