An Atlanta policewoman told the publication, “It appeared the victim placed the vehicle in reverse, and then noticed his sunglasses had fallen outside of his truck. At some point the vehicle (rolled) back, possibly from his foot coming off the brake, pinning him against (a) pillar.” Walden Sr., passed away in 2006.
Phil Jr. was a Stratford Academy graduate who attended law school at Mercer University. He is survived by his wife and four children.
