Suicide Victim Now Suspected In Austin, Texas Campus Closing

Back to school can be a very chaotic time with several, mixed and conflicting emotions happening simultaneously with excitement and anxiety. For many it started like a normal day en route to High School in Austin, Texas, but once a body was discovered on campus, word quickly got out, and people were told to return home with busses being radioed to cancel their pick ups.

Any student that had already arrived on campus was immediately contacted, and arrangements were made to transport them back home, or to a safe, alternate location to spend the day. Austin Independent School District interim Superintendent Matias Segura made a statement to the community regarding what was going on with the discovery of a student's body on campus at Travis Early College High School.
