A body has been found in a creek at the University of Texas in Austin in what authorities describe as a possible homicide.

UT President Greg Fenves says the body was discovered Tuesday in Waller Creek behind the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center. Fenves didn't release the name of the victim, the gender of the person or say who located the body.

No cause of death was immediately released.

A statement from Fenves describes the incident as a "tragedy on campus" and says UT officials are working with Austin police to identify possible suspects. Fenves also did not say whether the victim was believed to be a student.

The UT president says everything is being done to ensure safety on campus and that all classes and events remain on schedule.
