Police: Case closed in death of Cumming mom at overnight house party

CUMMING, Ga. — The investigation into the death of Tamla Horsford has ended, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.

Horsford, a 40-year-old mother from Forsyth County, has become the center of a viral social mediacontroversy after she died at an overnight house party surrounded by other adults.

In a news conference, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said its investigation into her death has closed after 300 hours of manpower and 30 interviews with party guests and others who had a connection to the party.

“The State of Georgia has ruled the death accidental and consistent with an accidental fall,” said Major Joe Perkins with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. “None of the injury patterns noted were consistent with foul play.”

Perkins said that Horsford’s body was found, fully clothed, in the backyard of a home on Woodlet Court in Cumming on Nov. 4, 2018. He said that the first 911 call regarding an unresponsive person at the home was made at 8:59 a.m. that morning, after a full night of partying at the home.

In 911 audio obtained by 11Alive, a woman and her boyfriend described Horsford as "stiff" and "face down" in the backyard. Over the course of the eight-minute-long phone call, they indicate that the deck is about 20 feet off of the ground.

"Maybe 20 feet from where your feet would be on the railing," the boyfriend said. "The railing itself, is maybe three and a half, four feet?"

“It was a party. They were drinking,” Perkins said. “She was drinking. Most of the partygoers had gone to bed at that time, and she was on the deck alone.”

Police said Horsford’s death was caused by an accidental fall from a deck at the home. Perkins said that Horsford’s body was transported to the GBI medical examiner for an autopsy report following the initial crime scene investigation. Her death was investigated by the Forsyth County Major Crimes Unit and everyone at the home was interviewed.

“While the injuries sustained appeared to have been likely received in a fall, detectives awaited toxicology and medical examiner reports to verify the findings,” Perkins said. He added that all of the injuries on Horsford’s body were consistent with a fall.

11Alive obtained Horsford's toxicology report. It showed that she had the anti-anxiety drug Xanex in her system, along with marijuana. Her blood-alcohol level was .238, nearly three times the legal limit of .08 percent.

The autopsy report showed she was fully clothed but was not wearing shoes at the time of her death. She had various, small abrasions to her head and neck and a laceration on her heart. Horsford's right wrist was dislocated and had a one-inch cut. There were also smaller abrasions on her legs and arms.

Horsford’s death has led to a growing number of questions online, with Twitter users using the hashtag #TamlaHorsford, with users expressing outrage over the lack of media coverage in her death since it happened last year.

Perkins said that no one at the party witnessed Horsford’s fall from the deck and that they came outside in the morning and found her in the backyard. He claimed there was no lapse in time from when she was found and when the 911 calls were made.

One of the partygoers, Jose Barrera, ended up losing his job in the wake of Horsford’s death. Barrera was a Forsyth County Superior Court employee who worked as a pre-trial release services officer. In that role, he would report bond violations, administer drug and alcohol tests and identify court defendants who might qualify for pre-trial release.

According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, Barrera accessed police files about Horsford’s death, which was a red flag to police.

“It was probably just curiosity, to be honest,” Perkins said. “He had access to our system and he should not have done what he did. He accessed those reports, which again, upset us. It violated our trust with him and we reported it to his supervisors.”

Barrera was placed on administrative leave on Dec. 17, 2018 for accessing files on a current investigation where he was a witness. He was terminated from his position with Forsyth County Pretrial Services on Dec. 20, 2018, based on a “loss of confidence” in the department.

Jose Barrera was fired from his job as a pre-trial release services officer with Forsyth County Superior Court after police discovered he used his access to read files related to the death of Tamla Horsford. He attended the party where she died and was a witness in her death investigation.

In response to accusation and alleged threats posted against the party hosts online, an attorney representing the homeowners stated that everyone at the party was cooperative with police.

“At this time, each of the partygoers and their families have received death threats on various social media postings. The threats need to stop. This tragic accident is exactly that, an accident. It is unfortunate, sad, and unbelievably heartbreaking to her family and friends," the attorney statement read, in part.
"However, certain very vocal friends and family members of Mrs. Horsford have been describing this accident as a 'murder.' Nothing can be farther from the truth."

On Monday, Horsford's family told 11Alive they were not ready to go on camera yet and talk about her death.

Sure that's why one of the people at the party looked into the records of her death. The family needs to get an outside report done.

But he's not gonna do anything and the case is closed. Husband has to raise 5 kids on his own now.
:francis:
I ain't never heard of a married mom of 6 doing a "sleepover" like that on her own unless it was for a cruise, and even then...
The gossip sites weren't even well meaning with this one. They found the case and got their drama high off it. After the endorphins stop surging and the attention stops, so does the cloutvestigation.
What help did we provide? What changed? Nothing. shyt got covered up and it's a wrap unless somebody wants to take it another way. People keep talmbat threats toward the cacs but their names and pictures are not even in here. The only threats were against other posters...from somebody who can't walk a city block without hyperventilating. I used to jog west of downtown to parkdale no sweat. The cardio alone ain't matching up. So nikkas need to be quiet with the tough talk when they can't even fight their appetites.
@Intruder v3.0 yeah I'm talmbat you, fat boy. :pacspit:
