SALT LAKE CITY — An investigation is underway after a man was found dead near the entrance of Salt Lake Community College.
The man was later identified as a 37-year-old who lived in the area. Officials said he was not a student and did not have ties to SLCC.
The body was found around Tuesday around 4:45 p.m. at SLCC's 1600 S. State Street campus, according to a spokesperson for the Utah Department of Public Safety, which is leading the investigation.
The deceased person was identified as an adult male, but his name has not been released yet. He was found on the west steps of the school.
The investigation into the cause and circumstances of the man's death is in its preliminary stages, but officials say there does not appear to be any foul play.
A SLCC spokesperson said it's unlikely that the body was found by a student because they are currently on holiday break.
