Oh wow, they identified this unfortunate victim quickly. I wonder if he had any ties to the building where he was found or was living somewhat transient?

May his family be surrounded by love and support right now. Imagine how they must feel.

Thompson was not affiliated with the school, college spokesperson Jeanne M. Nicol said. She could not say how he got access to the performing arts building because the investigation is ongoing.

It’s a shame there is no missing Persons thread for Jason.
Just to add some details of Jason’s disappearance from his sister. Jason going missing is completely out of character, never once has he gone more than 48 hours without contacting family.

My brother was last seen leaving my apartment near Hall and Schoenherr Wednesday October 25 at 5:41 PM. He was wearing black pants, adidas shoes and a black hoodie. 6 foot, skinny build, with black dyed hair.

He was supposedly last heard from via text message around 9:40 PM. His phone died or was shut off and has not been turned back on since.

Macomb County resident Jason Thompson believed he was fleeing the police.

The 36-year-old father of two had a long history of run-ins with law enforcement dating back over 15 years and served more than eight years in prison. He had at least one outstanding warrant for his arrest when he told his girlfriend he feared he was being pursued by police in late October. She and his family members didn't hear from him again.
