The university said the woman was a former student. The police said they had no suspects in the case.
A woman’s body was found in a wooded area on the University of Georgia’s campus in Athens on Thursday, according to university officials, who said that foul play was suspected in her death.
In a statement to The Times, the university said the victim was an undergraduate student at the school until the spring of 2023 and then enrolled at Augusta University’s nursing program, which has a campus in Athens.
Just after noon, a friend reported to the campus police that the woman was missing after she did not return from a run near the university’s intramural fields, the University of Georgia Police Department said.
At 12:38 p.m., officers found the woman’s body in a patch of forest near a lake. The woman, whose name and age have not been released, “was unconscious and not breathing” and had “visible injuries,” the police said. Paramedics arrived and pronounced her dead.
The police do not have any suspects, Jeffrey Clark, the chief of university police, said at a news conference on Thursday night.
“When you have a suspect that’s on the loose, there’s always a danger,” the chief said. “But there’s no immediate danger at this time.”
