Father, son deaths called murder-suicide

Mark Millican markmillican@daltoncitizen.com

The deaths of a Ramhurst man and his son have been ruled a “murder-suicide” by authorities after the state crime lab determined the cause of death as carbon monoxide poisoning.

Murray County Sheriff Howard Ensley said investigators found a hose connected to the exhaust pipe that was run into the interior of the 1984 Corvette where he discovered the bodies of David Wayne Graham, 39, and his son, Easton Blayde Graham, 3, early Tuesday morning.

Ensley said Graham’s mother reported her son had not dropped his son off at her house on Tuesday, but when she went to the home on Old Highway 411 South she did not look into the Corvette, which was parked away from the house next to an outbuilding.

Murray County Deputy Coroner Alan Robbins, who also investigated the scene, said the state crime lab released the cause of death after examining the Grahams’ bodies.

“The car wasn’t running when I got there, but apparently it had been running,” he said.

The funeral for Easton Graham will be Saturday at noon in the chapel of Peeples Funeral Home of Chatsworth. The funeral for Wayne Graham will be Saturday at 3 p.m. Visitation for both will be Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. and on Saturday until the funeral hours.
