According to Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones, the former senator died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Over the years, Brown has advocated for raising the minimum wage and repealing a law that allows Georgia Power to charge ratepayers for new nuclear reactors before they're built, among other issues.
Brown resigned from the upper chamber earlier this year to launch an unsuccessful bid for mayor of Macon.
