Police are investigating the death of a woman found on the playground of Greeleyville Elementary School, Greeleyville Police Chief Cedrick Driffin said.

Simone Miles, 35, of the Kingstree area was found dead about 7 a.m. Monday, Williamsburg County Coroner Harrison McKnight said.

A bus driver noticed the woman before school began and notified a janitor, who called 911, Driffin said.

Police noticed nothing that would indicate foul play, but are at a “standstill” until they receive autopsy results, the chief said.

The woman likely had been on the campus only through the night before she was discovered, Driffin said.

The coroner said he has sent the woman’s body to Charleston for an autopsy at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
