SAN ANTONIO – A woman’s body was found on fire on Friday morning near Leon Creek Greenway, according to San Antonio police.
First responders were called to the scene just before 9 a.m. at the Prue Road Trailhead located at the intersection of Prue Road and Prue Bend.
People on the trail had noticed a fire in the woods nearby, and at least one of them went to check it out.
One of the people then saw a body and called 911. SAPD officers and San Antonio Fire Department crews later confirmed it was a woman’s body, police stated.
There was some evidence of an accelerant on the woman’s body, which suggests that she was set on fire, SAPD said.
However, it’s currently unclear if it was self-inflicted or if there was foul play involved.
The woman’s cause and manner of death remain under investigation.
Officers estimate that the “immediate area” will be closed off for the next one to two hours.
The rest of Leon Creek Greenway is still open, SAPD said.
This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.
