Justice Bus Ride for Noah Bush to Atlanta for Jesup March for Justice – WSB-TV Channel 2

ATLANTA — The family of 8-year-old Noah Bush and his supporters are sending a bus to metro Atlanta to pick up supporters for a march for justice in Jesup.

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

Although the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the death, they said they have found no evidence of foul play.

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

Bush was found in a restricted area near his home, with the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office saying the boy took off his shoes and walked into the water, where he drowned. His family hired a private investigator to look into the circumstances of his death, and the sheriff’s office asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to assist in its investigation.
