SAN ANTONIO – Investigators released new information on Monday on a woman found burned to death on Friday morning near Leon Creek Greenway.
A San Antonio Police Department spokesperson told KSAT that her death has been ruled a suicide.
At this time, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to confirm SAPD’s findings or identify the woman.
First responders were called to the scene just before 9 a.m. on Friday at the Prue Road Trailhead located at the intersection of Prue Road and Prue Bend.
Police said 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 said at the time.
There was some evidence of an accelerant on the woman’s body, which suggests that she was set on fire, SAPD said.
The rest of Leon Creek Greenway remained open on Friday.
