A person has committed suicide in the parking lot of an eastern Kentucky high school.
Thursday morning at approximately 6:10, an “adult body” was discovered in the parking lot of Knox Central High School in Barbourville. The person, according to officials, committed suicide.
The school district said the person was not affiliated with the school.
“While this incident occurred on school property, this is non-school related and the person is not believed to have (a) direct connection to Knox County Public Schools,” the district said.
The district, due to the death investigation, utilized an NTI Day on Thursday.
“Because of the location and police presence, in-person instruction was cancelled to allow law enforcement full access to the site,” the school district stated.
