Death Investigation Causes Temporary Closure of Miami-Dade College's Hialeah Campus Monday Morning

Events and classes on one Miami-Dade College campus are back to normal Monday after a suspicious death overnight.

Officers responded to the scene at the school’s Hialeah campus on 1780 West 49th Street around 4:15 a.m. after a man was found on the ground unresponsive by school security.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene by Hialeah Fire Rescue crews, but his name has not been released and officials are treating it as a suicide.

Students were sent a text from the school advising them to stay away from campus until at least 10 a.m. or they are notified that they can return. A short time later, the school tweeted that the scene was cleared and class session after 7 a.m. would resume as scheduled.
