Officials revealed on Monday that a 75-year-old math teacher was found deceased inside a Maryland elementary school over the weekend.
Deborah Tolson, a math interventionist at Arundel Elementary School in Baltimore, was discovered within the school premises, according to Principal Kerry-Ann Malcolm.
Tolson had dedicated 23 years to teaching in the Baltimore City Public Schools system, spending the last seven years at Arundel Elementary.
“Ms. Tolson was a cherished member of our school community for seven years,” Malcolm expressed in a heartfelt letter to the community. “She was a cornerstone of our school, loved by both students and staff alike.”
Baltimore City police informed Fox News Digital that their investigation uncovered no evidence of trauma or foul play.
The authorities confirmed that Tolson’s body has been sent to the state’s Medical Examiner’s Office to ascertain the cause of her passing.
Malcolm said students were released at 10:15 a.m. Monday.
“Our hearts and thoughts remain with Ms. Tolson’s family and friends, as well as our entire school community, in this difficult time,” Malcolm said. “We are still gathering additional details and will share what we can at a later time.”
She added that the district is taking steps to support students and staff who are grieving.
“The Baltimore City Public Schools crisis team will support our school and talk to students and staff members to address their questions and concerns,” Malcolm said.

It was not immediately clear when school officials became aware of Tolson’s body and if students were in the building when she was discovered.
