ST. LOUIS — Foul play is not suspected after a school custodian was found dead in St. Louis, leading the school district to relocate children in a summer-school program to another building.
The man’s body was found Wednesday morning at Mason Elementary School. Homicide detectives were called in but determined he died from a medical condition while at work, though a specific cause of death has not been determined. The man’s name was not immediately released.
Children attending the summer-school program were meeting instead at Mallinckrodt Elementary School. Both Mason and Mallinckrodt are in south St. Louis.
