At 10:05 a.m., police were called to the school after receiving a 911 call about a possible body at the school.
When police arrived they found the body of 38-year-old Earl Campbell of Austin on the west side of the building in the play ground.
According to the Jackson County Indiana coroner, an autopsy showed “no anatomical cause of death,” which means the man did not die of a heart attack or blunt force trauma.
There were also no signs of physical trauma on the body. Blood work is pending.
