Service to honor CDC's Cunningham planned for Morehouse College chapel

Cunningham hasn't been seen or heard from since Monday.

ATLANTA — A “Celebration of Life” service is planned on the Morehouse College campus for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researcher who drowned.

Timothy Cunningham, 35, was pulled from the Chattahoochee River on April 3, more than seven weeks after he was reported missing from his northwest Atlanta home. Cunningham, a graduate of Morehouse and Harvard University, was an epidemiologist at the CDC.
