2. A prominent metro area realtor has unfortunately passed the night of Sunday, Jun. 25, when thunderstorms caused a tree to fall on him at his home in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood. First responders found George Heery Jr., 55, on Delmont Dr. Northeast struggling to breathe; they attempted to perform CPR and were unsuccessful. He was immediately brought to Grady EMS where he was sadly pronounced dead. Heery was a partner with his brother, Neal, at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty. (Fox 5 Atlanta)
