An investigation is ongoing after a shocking incident stunned San Antonio trailgoers on Friday morning, April 10.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Police Department<\/a> confirmed to MySA that officers were dispatched to the 7500 block of Prue Road at 8:52 a.m. on Friday, not far from the Leon Creek Greenway. There it was revealed that the body of a 27-year-old woman was discovered on fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Described as an “apparent sudden death” incident, SAPD officials said hikers on the trail noticed something was on fire as they made their way through a wooded path. They called SAPD once they realized the fire was a person’s body, and members of the San Antonio Fire Department were able to extinguish the flames shortly after.<\/p>\n

The woman, who right now is only described as a 27-year-old white female, was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

SAPD told reporters with KSAT 12<\/a> that there was “some evidence of an accelerant on the woman’s body,” suggesting she was set on fire. However, if the fire was self-inflicted or due to foul play is unclear at this time.<\/p>\n

The investigation into her death remains ongoing, but SAPD told MySA that there are “no criminal elements” at the time of this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An investigation is ongoing after a shocking incident stunned San Antonio trailgoers on Friday morning, April 10.
