Disabled boy found dead on school bus

A 19-year-old Los Angeles student with special needs was found dead on an empty school bus in suspicious circumstances.

A 19 year old special needs student was found alone and dead on a bus in suspicious circumstances in Los Angeles according to the LA Times.

The student, identified as Hun Joon Lee, was found slumped in the aisle of a bus parked in the bus yard. His mother alerted authorities when he failed to return to his home in Whittier from school. Efforts were made to revive the boy but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are treating the death a suspicious because “nothing that we’ve learned so far would lead us to believe he had any medical conditions,” said Brad White, a spokesman for the Whittier Police Department.

There were no signs of trauma on Lee’s body, and no weapons were found at the scene, White said.

The bus driver was held for questioning but was later released, and no arrests have been made.
