An Atlanta bagpiper died while participating in a popular tourist attraction days before his son’s remains were found in a Georgia treehouse, four years after his disappearance, according to reports.
Henry Frantz Jr., 74, was scuba diving in Maui, Hawaii on March 10 when he died, according to an Instagram post from the Atlanta Pipe Band.
"A founding member of APB in 1970, past Pipe Major, and dedicated member for 55 years, Henry’s impact on our band and the piping community was immeasurable," the group said. "Beyond music, Henry’s curiosity led him to travel the world, explore fossils, and pursue scuba diving."

Who decided his instrument of choice was an essential facet of this story?

Six days later, family members found the skeletal remains of Frantz’s son, 28-year-old Henry Hank Frantz, in a backyard treehouse located at the Georgia home his father previously lived in, USA Today reported.
The DeKalb Medical Examiner’s Office believes the skeleton likely belongs to the younger Frantz, who went missing four years ago, according to WJCL. The cause and manner of death remain under investigation, but authorities reportedly do not suspect foul play.

Strange story. Treehouse looks really nice...strange no one noticed a dead body in it for four years.

Is a Bagpiper like a TBagger ?

Bagpipes get annoying real quick.

How can they rule out foul play when they reported can't determine a cause of death? That makes as much sense as how the body of his missing son goes undiscovered for 4 years in the backyard of the residence in a tree house. Nobody cared to search or went into the treehouse during the 4 years he went missing?? Come on, man!!

It doesn't appear they looked too hard for the son.

I’m sure this is the title he wanted to be remembered by.

I wonder how big the property is, I guess I can see not searching a tree house for a missing 28 year old but you would think there would be signs and smells

My buddy's wife passed away recently. They had a guy playing the bagpipes at her service. I cried like a baby.

I really do love some “amazing grace” on bagpipes, but anything more than one song and they lose their luster quick.

How many times do we have to read about this same scenario until we don’t consider it “news” anymore?
