Police told ABC affiliate WSB it was too early to indicate if foul play was involved.

"There's many avenues that it could go, but at this time, we're just gathering information," Sarah O'Hara of the Cobb County Police told WSB.

Detectives are working with the Atlanta Braves as they investigate, police said.

The game between the Braves and the Reds was played as scheduled.
