ORIGINAL STORY:

Vancouver Police are investigating after a woman’s body was discovered on the southwest corner of the school grounds at David Thompson Secondary School on Friday.

Crews are still on scene at East 55th Avenue and Argyle Street and detectives have been called to investigate the circumstance as well.

While details at this point are slim, police say that “based on the initial information collected at the scene, officers do not believe the public is at risk.”

As today is a school district professional development day, there are no classes, so students were not in the area at the time of the discovery.
