Lincoln Estes Dies From Natural Causes A Bowdon resident, Lincoln Estes, was found dead near his cabin on the Tallapoosa River near Sperarman's Lake Tuesday about 8:15 a.m. The coroner has ruled that he died of a heart attack and no evidence of foul play has been uncovered by the Haralson County Sheriff's Department. Estes, 60 was found slumped in a chair near his cabin by a neighbor, Russell Green, who called the Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Scott Roberts said Estes often frequented the cabin, located not far from where he was born, to fish on the weekends. Dr. Ivan Elder, the Haralson County Coroner, examined the body Tuesday afternoon and said that he had been dead approximately 24 hours. Estes was known to have a heart condition and Dr. Elder confirmed that a number of bottles of medicine found on a table near the chair, were heart medications. Sheriff Roberts said a thorough check of the area produced no signs of a struggle. Estes' wallet was in his pocket and there was money in it. "Because his wife was out of town, he evidently decided to stay over until Monday," Roberts said. "Friends have told me he had said he wanted to die up there on the river." Funeral services for Estes were scheduled to be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday from the chapel of Hightower Funeral Home in Bremen. Interment was to be in Haralson Memory Gardens.
