Dallas police have opened an investigation after a body was discovered behind the athletic field of Skyline High School on Tuesday morning, December 10. The victim has been identified as an adult male, and authorities confirmed he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The discovery was made before the start of the school day, prompting school officials to place Skyline High School on a precautionary lockdown. District representatives emphasized that the measure was taken solely to ensure student and staff safety while police secured the surrounding area. The lockdown was lifted once authorities confirmed there was no ongoing threat to the campus.
Dallas Police Department investigators remained at the scene through the morning as they worked to determine the cause and circumstances of the man’s death. No additional details regarding his identity, possible injuries, or how long he may have been at the location have been released.
Law enforcement officials stated that the investigation is active and ongoing. They are asking anyone with information to contact Dallas police.
Skyline High School resumed normal operations after the lockdown was cleared, and school leaders assured families that all students and staff were safe throughout the incident.
