UPDATE: UL Police say the body of an unidentified elderly black male was discovered at approximately 8:23 a.m. on Thursday, May 30, at the Bourgeois Hall Bus stop.

ULPD is investigating. No foul play is suspected at this time.

Students, faculty and staff received a UL alert this morning, asking them to avoid the area of Bourgeois Hall and in particular the bus stop there.

An officer who answered the telephone at UL Police said they aren't releasing any information yet, other than to say "there is no threat."

We called the Lafayette Parish Coroner's Office, who told us they are not investigating the death as a homicide. The person has not yet been identified, but is not a young person, a spokesman said.

We'll update this story as we receive more information.
