Deaths of Twin Brothers Found on Georgia's Bell Mountain Ruled Double Suicide

[Turd Fergusen]

The deaths of two 19-year-old twins found fatally shot at the top of a north Georgia mountain in March have been ruled a double suicide, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced on Wednesday.

Qaadir Malik Lewis and Naazir Rahim Lewis were found in Hiawassee, Georgia, at the summit of Bell Mountain on March 8. The twins from Lawrenceville — about 90 miles south of where their bodies were found — had plans to visit their friends in Boston the morning of March 7.

Only Naazir went to the airport the day before their deaths, the GBI investigation found, and he was the only person who had an airline ticket. Naazir did not board the flight and returned home.

GBI said investigators used cellular location data to establish a timeline of the twins' movements from their home to Bell Mountain.

"In the video that corresponds to those locations, the Lewis brothers are seen alone," the release stated.

The family previously told NBC affiliate WXIA of Atlanta that they were unsure how or why the twins were at Bell Mountain, a spot popular with tourists not far from the North Carolina border. The brothers had no clear connection to the place, their family said.

Forensic evidence showed the Lewis brothers fired a gun, according to the GBI. Records show Naazir purchased ammunition and delivered it to his home on March 5.

The brothers also made internet searches for how to load a gun, 2024 suicide rates, and other related searches, the agency stated.

GBI said the investigation will be formally closed in the coming weeks.

Investigators originally thought the twins’ deaths could be a murder-suicide, a theory their family rejected.

Well that's just really sad.

OMG soooo sad-and they just graduated within at least the last year? I had twin male cousins-Carl and Micheal. They were fraternal but looked IDENTICAL-STRONG genes-none of us could tell them apart for the most part. Both had type 1 Diabetes-since 8/9 yrs old. When Mikey was 27 he was alone in his apt and his blood sugar plumetted-he was trying a new med. The scene was so bad cops at first thought it might be a homicide. He went blind and deaf QUICKLY b/c of low sugar-he became incoherent and fell thru his glass table-broke his leg-the scene was bad as he stumbled around trying to help himself till he could not, his best friend found his body at home.One month to the like day my uncle, his dad, my Uncle Carl dropped dead of a heart attack in the kitchen (I say of a broken heart). So devastated-I was close with them. Carl, his surviving twin was never the same-he died 2 years later-his body just like"shut down", his mother found him. Left a little boy Kyle behind (he is not little anymore)


RIP Uncle Carl, Carl and Micheal

RIP Qaadir and Naazir twin brothers whose love ran deep for eachother
