Body of Jason Thompson Found Inside Vents at Macomb Center for the Performing Arts in Michigan

Police are currently investigating how a 36-year-old man ended up on the campus of Macomb Community College in Michigan and inside the ventilation system. The body of the man, identified as Jason Thompson from Clinton Township, was discovered on Sunday at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts, according to reports from the Detroit Free Press, Detroit News, and NBC News.

Authorities were alerted to the situation after receiving a call about a foul odor in the building. Thompson’s body was found during their investigation. Macomb College Police Chief William Leavens stated that the investigation into his death is ongoing, but there is currently no reason to suspect foul play.

Thompson had been missing for over a month, last seen by his family on October 25. He was reported missing on November 1. It remains unclear how Thompson gained access to the campus building, as he was not affiliated with the school, according to Macomb Community College spokesperson Jeanne Nicol.

The exact circumstances surrounding how Thompson ended up in the ventilation system and how long his body had been there have not been disclosed by authorities. The college extended their condolences to Thompson’s family and friends during this difficult time.

As the investigation continues, police will work to determine the events leading up to Thompson’s presence on the campus and his unfortunate demise. The community college will cooperate with law enforcement to provide any necessary information to aid in the investigation.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of campus security and the need for continued vigilance in ensuring the safety of students and staff. Macomb Community College will likely conduct a review of their security protocols to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
