Police are investigating after a man's body was found on the roof of a small building outside Fresno High School's library on Friday morning. The discovery was made by a staff member near Echo and Weldon, and authorities were called to the campus around 11 am.

The Fresno Police Department said the body was on top of a small building outside the library. That location placed the case on school property, where staff and others on campus encountered the scene before police arrived.
Police are treating the death as suspicious because of where the body was located. That classification keeps the investigation focused on how the person reached the roof and what happened before the body was found.

Authorities said they do not know how long the body had been there. That leaves the timeline open between the time staff members first noticed the scene and the earlier period when the death occurred.
For people connected to Fresno High School, the immediate practical step is to stay clear of the area while the Fresno Police Department continues its work. Anyone with more information is being asked to contact the department.
