Police are investigating after a man's body was found on the roof of a Fresno High School building on Friday morning, a discovery that put the campus under immediate scrutiny and turned a routine school day into a scene of concern.
Authorities were called to the Fresno campus around 11 am, after a staff member found the body on top of a small building outside the school's library on Echo and Weldon. Because of where the body was located, investigators are treating the death as suspicious.
That location is also what makes the case hard to explain. Police have not said how the body got onto the roof, and they do not know how long it had been there before it was found. Those two unanswered points leave the investigation focused on what happened before the discovery, not just on the discovery itself.
The body was found at Fresno High School in Fresno, California, and police have said the place where it was discovered is the reason they are investigating it as suspicious. The Fresno Police Department is asking anyone with more information to come forward, as investigators try to piece together how a body ended up on a roof at a school campus in the middle of the day.
