The body of a teenage boy was located near a dumpster by a sanitation worker on the campus of a high school in Glendale, Arizona, and authorities believe the cause of death may be from a fall, a report said.

The 17-year-old’s body was found on the campus of Glendale’s Independence High School by a sanitation worker who first thought the body may have been a Halloween decoration since there was blood. It was later determined that the teen ran away from home and was not enrolled at the school, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.
