Missing dad-of-two’s body found inside air vent at community college | US News


The body found in the ventilation system at Macomb Community College was identified as Jason Thompson on Monday

The body of a father-of-two who was missing for a month was discovered inside a ventilation system at a community college in Michigan.

Jason Thompson, 36, was identified by his remains on Monday after Macomb Community College staff reported a foul odor permeating from their performing arts center.

A performance was held as scheduled at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday afternoon and Thompson’s body was uncovered the same day.

Cops did not immediately know how the body wound up in the air vent or how long it was there.

Thompson leaves behind his children Killian and Kiara, according to his cousin Carissa Towns.

‘Jason was loved by many people and his family has been through a lot over the past month while he has been missing,’ wrote Towns in a GoFundMe page for his memorial service.

‘He was a son, brother, uncle, cousin, but most important he was loved by his family and friends and will be missed.’

Thompson’s family last saw him at his sister’s apartment less than a mile from the college on October 25. He was reported missing from Sterling Heights on November 1.

‘There is no reason to suspect foul play,’ Macomb College Police Chief William Leavens told the Detroit Free Press.

‘At this point, it is important to remember that this an ongoing investigation, with the goal to understand the circumstances.’

Thompson’s cause of death has not yet been determined by the county medical examiner, and an investigation continues.

College officials stated that the school community ‘extends heartfelt condolences during this difficult time to Mr Thompson’s family and friends’.

The college is in Clinton Township, which is about 25 miles north of Detroit.

As of Tuesday evening, the GoFundMe had raised more than $2,000.

The grisly discovery comes just over a month after missing man Zachariah Andrews’ body was found stuffed in the chimney of an apartment building in Norfolk, Nebraska, after a foul odor led a maintenance worker to spot a dangling shoe.
