@anycountynews: Any County News | Turner County BREAKING — Ashburn, Ga. | Sept. 18, 2026 Ashburn Department of Public Safety says officers were called to a home on Orchid Hill after a mother had just given birth to a baby who was deceased. That is the full public record so far. No names. No ages. No cause of death. No charges. The department offered condolences to the mother and her family, asked the community to pray, and asked neighbors to respect their privacy. The graphic on the post confirmed a GBI death investigation in Ashburn. In a town of about 4,200 people, a street name travels faster than a press release. Do not drive by. Do not fill in the blanks online. GBI being called does not, by itself, mean a crime. Unexpected infant deaths and unattended births in Georgia are routinely sent to the state so the medical examiner can determine what happened. Turner County is small. WALB and The Wiregrass Farmer will carry whatever officials release next. Until then, the source is Ashburn DPS. If you are close enough to take a meal, leave it and go. If you are not, stay off the street. Georgia Safe Haven law: a parent in crisis can leave a living newborn at a hospital, fire station, or police station without prosecution if the child is within the legal age window. Turner County does not yet have a baby box. Those staffed sites still count. Tips for investigators: GBI 1-800-597-TIPS. Emergencies: 911. Child-protection hotline: 1-855-GACHILD.
