Death 'not suspicious' after body found at school

Homicide Squad Detective Inspector Dean Thomas initially said the death was suspicious due to the man's injuries, with police looking for weapons.

A staff member who found the man's body was receiving support.

Police initially treated the man's death as a possible homicide before declaring it not suspicious.

Police later said a post-mortem was conducted on Monday afternoon and the man's death was no longer being treated as suspicious.

The man was described as being of African descent and probably in his 20s or 30s.

Police did not believe he was connected to the school.

The high school remained open for classes on Monday, with students kept away from the scene.

"Full support is available to any students and staff affected by this incident," a Department of Education spokesman said.

Year 12 students across Victoria are scheduled to complete their VCE English exam on Tuesday.
