Body found on University of Memphis campus

Memphis police are investigating the death of a man, a university employee, whose body was discovered Thursday in the psychology building on the East Memphis campus, according to police.

Police were called about 7:45 a.m. by the Memphis Fire Department after the body was found in a psychology building auditorium, said police spokeswoman Sgt. Alyssa Macon-Moore.

A 64-year-old man had died, according to fire department officials.

The cause of the man's death wasn't known and police are conducting a death investigation, not a homicide investigation.

Curt Guenther, a university spokesman, confirmed that the person found was a university employee, but could offer no further details.
