Dead Body in a High School? What?

I found this article when I was browsing Facebook. The story in question is very brief, and it's a very odd occurrence. I was interested because it is in the same town as my high school, and I've passed by this school many times. It was released the day the body was discovered, just a few hours after, so this explains why there is little information on the subject yet. I was interested to know that school was not cancelled; I would have guessed it would close to launch a full investigation. The article makes sure to note where the body was found, and that it was not a student, so parents would not start to worry about the safety of their children. The article when posted online, however, made it to publishing with one mistake that jumped out to me on the first reading: "Police said the victim as not a Naperville Central student." I assume it should be "was" instead of "as," which is something that should have been noticed and corrected immediately. It distracted me from the rest of the article.
