A woman was found dead on the campus of the University of Georgia with visible injuries, prompting suspicions of foul play, officials said. The victim, who was not a student at UGA but attended another institution, was discovered in a forested area behind Lake Herrick after a friend reported her missing following a morning run at the Intramural Fields. University of Georgia Police Chief Jeffrey Clark stated that there is an active investigation underway, with assistance from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Athens-Clarke County Police. The university canceled classes Thursday evening and Friday, with plans to resume on Monday. This tragic incident comes just hours after the sudden death of a UGA student the previous night, although there is no connection between the two deaths. The campus community has been urged to travel in groups as a safety precaution. CNN has reached out to the authorities for further details on the ongoing investigation.
