Friends and family of Tamla, a 40 year old wife and mother of five from Cumming, Georgia, are asking for answers after she was found dead following a gathering at a home in Forsyth, Georgia, on November 4, 2018.
According to local reports, Tamla attended a football moms sleepover at the home. WSB-TV reported that she was found in a yard around 7:30 a.m. by the homeowner’s relative, and that 911 was not called until about 9:30 a.m.
Tamla’s close friend Michelle told WSB-TV that the family was first told Tamla had too much to drink and that she may have fallen from a second floor balcony. Michelle said she simply wants to know what happened, and that she felt intimidated by some of the people at the home when she began asking questions.
One of the guests, Jose, is a former pre trial officer with the Forsyth County Court. Forsyth County News reported that he was fired in December after he accessed personal information on at least five people through his job, including files tied to an investigation in which he was a witness. Major Joe Perkins of the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office told the paper the conduct may not rise to a criminal level, but that the department was outraged by it. No charges have been filed against Jose, and the reports do not accuse him of causing Tamla’s death.
The homeowner’s attorney has since released a statement rejecting any suggestion of wrongdoing. The statement says the Forsyth County Coroner filed a death certificate listing the cause of death as a fall from the balcony along with acute ethanol intoxication. The attorney also said the people who were at the home have received death threats, and that the threats need to stop.
The family says it has still not received a full autopsy report. No one has been charged, and law enforcement has not shared further details about the investigation.
