PAULDING COUNTY, GA — A Georgia coroner has ordered an inquest into the 2017 death of a woman whose death was previously ruled a suicide.

Paulding County Coroner Lindsey Fuller is investigating the death of Heather Turner.

Officials said Turner’s husband reported finding her dead from a gunshot wound in their bathroom in 2017.

The sheriff’s office and medical examiner previously ruled Turner’s death a suicide, but Fuller is now questioning that determination.

“I was not entrusted with this office to borrow someone else’s judgement. I was entrusted with it to exercise my own responsibly,” Fuller said. “Heather Turner was more than how she died.”

Fuller said a five-person jury is expected to hear evidence beginning in January 2027.

The jury will determine whether Turner’s death was a suicide, homicide, natural or undetermined.
