LITHONIA, Ga. (AP) — A custodian has been found dead inside a DeKalb County high school.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://on-ajc.com/1Sw21Px ) reports that 52-year-old Anthony Jacobs was found dead at Martin Luther King Jr. High School Thursday morning.

DeKalb schools spokesman Quinn Hudson says investigators initially treated the situation as a crime scene, but the district later said there were no signs of foul play.

Some students were relocated to Arabia Mountain High School in Lithonia while officials investigated the death. Others were relocated to Southwest DeKalb High School in Decatur.

Hudson says the school's regular dismissal schedule will be in effect.

Additional details have not been released.
