“He loved Michael Jackson music,” Greta Lewis told Channel 2′s Tom Jones about her cousin, J.C. Ellis.
Two things family and friends remember about Ellis are that he loved the King of Pop and followed his own rules.
“He lived his life the way he wanted to live it,” Lewis explained.
That meant sometimes living outdoors, even though he had loving family members who begged him to come inside.
Then on Jan. 18, police found Ellis’ body in an abandoned home with no electricity or running water.
Police say there were no signs of foul play.
“We believe he froze to death,” Lewis said.
Then, on the morning of Jan. 22nd, Clayton County police say they were called to a MARTA bus shelter in front of the Frank Bailey Senior Center on Riverdale Road.
