Bellevue police found a decomposing body in wooded areas adjacent to Bellevue College last Friday evening, with initial evidence suggesting no criminal activity was involved in the death.

Officers responded around 8 p.m. to reports of the discovery and confirmed the person appeared to have been deceased for several weeks before being found. The Bellevue Police Department stated Saturday that preliminary evidence at the scene did not indicate foul play, though the investigation remains ongoing.

The discovery occurred in forested areas near the college campus, where the body had gone unnoticed for an extended period. Police have not released information about the person’s identity or specific cause of death as investigators work to determine the circumstances surrounding the death.

The location highlights challenges facing both campus security and community welfare services in monitoring areas where vulnerable individuals might seek shelter. Wooded spaces adjacent to educational institutions often serve multiple purposes for students and community members while sometimes providing refuge for those experiencing housing difficulties.

For the Bellevue College community, the incident represents an unusual occurrence that has prompted discussions about safety awareness in areas surrounding campus grounds. While the preliminary findings suggest no threat to public safety, the discovery serves as a reminder of the human struggles that can exist in less visible spaces throughout the region.

The investigation continues as authorities work to identify the deceased and determine the exact circumstances of death. Police have not indicated any timeline for when additional information might be available, though they have confirmed that initial evidence points away from criminal activity.

The case reflects broader challenges facing communities throughout the Puget Sound region, where individuals experiencing various personal crises may become isolated from support systems and end up in circumstances where they cannot access help or regular human contact.

Bellevue police are handling the ongoing investigation and will release additional details as they become available
