A school secretary called 911 around 7:35 a.m. and told a dispatcher a student said he believed he saw a deceased person while walking behind apartments, according to dispatch records.
The student then got on the phone with the dispatcher and explained he saw the body between the apartments and electrical building while walking in the area of Purcell Avenue and Alameda Drive. “They were on the grass,” the student said.
When the dispatcher asked whether the student tried to speak to the person or saw anything nearby, he said, “I didn’t stop to check. I just started running.”
Police were investigating Tuesday morning near a walking path by a CenterPoint Energy natural gas facility.
Different items were found strung throughout the area, including a purse and bag, according to the dispatch log.
