Seattle police responded and determined it was likely a homicide and detectives were called in to investigate. There is no known threat to the UW campus community. A description of the suspect will be provided when it becomes available.\n\nSeattle police report the following:\n\nDetectives were called out to the scene. During the course of the investigation, they learned that the victim was present during a physical fight with several other males hours earlier in the same location. The victim appeared to have been assaulted. Investigators are looking into whether there is a connection between the earlier fight and the man's death.\n\nSeattle Police are working closely with the King County Prosecutor and the King County Medical Examiner's Office, which will determine the cause and manner of death. This incident is being investigated as a homicide.\n\nThis remains an active and on-going investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Seattle Police Department tip line at (206) 233-5000.\n\nORIGINAL POST at 8:12 a.m.: Seattle police are investigating a suspicious death near NE 47th St. and NE University Way that occurred in the early morning hours (around 4:30 a.m.).
