On Thursday, July 8, Guilford County’s building at 1100 E. Wendover Ave. – used to provide various public health services – was shut down due to a dead body found at a bus stop in front of the building.
Police are investigating the matter, but no reason for cause of death has been provided.
The discovery of the body and the investigation caused the county to cancel appointments at the location. Law enforcement officers investigated the area around the building, which also meant closing down the roads Thursday morning.
Guilford County government sent out a press release reporting that the building was temporarily closed, however, the short release didn’t mention a dead body. It read: “SERVICES TEMPORARILY CLOSED AT WENDOVER PUBLIC HEALTH LOCATION GUILFORD COUNTY – Guilford County Public Health located at 1100 E. Wendover in Greensboro will be closed to the public until 12:00 PM today. Due to a Law Enforcement investigation, the building will be temporarily closed to all traffic.”
The press release added that no further information was available at that time.
The county is contacting people who had morning appointments at the Wendover building and is rescheduling.
Though a death shutting down a Guilford County facility is a rare occurrence, this incident comes less than a month after a dead body in a county park shut down that park trail for a while.
In that case, just before 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 15, a 911 caller reported the body of an unconscious person on the Big Loop Trail at Bur-Mil Park.
Guilford County EMS, Greensboro Fire and Greensboro Police responded to the scene but could not save the man, who was later reported to be deceased. In that case, a tree near a trial fell on the hiker, killing him.
If a dead tree were to fall on the City Council, and no one were there, would it make a noise?
Even when they are there, no one is there.
Would anyone really care
That Cure The Violence program is working really well…
What in the heck does this have to do with the cure the violence program. The Rhino has reported absolutely no information about this death. So the only thing we have to go on here regarding your comment is that you think the cure the violence program should have prevented a tree from falling on someone in a park. Stop ramming your dialogue into us like a middle-aged white man into a 15-year old boy. Oh yeah, that’s a real story.
Perhaps here, but not in Chicago. I read that over this holiday weekend, that 100 people were shot, including two police officers. Over a dozen children. And so far 18 have died from the wounds.
In Chicago, people charged with violent crimes, including murder, can and are released with electronic monitoring.
A Cook County Judge justifies this saying that people shouldn’t be imprisoned before they are tried unless “they pose a significant danger to the community”. Does anyone understand the logic in that one? This Wokism squared.
How long before our woke City Council achieves this level of PC incompetence?
You are 100% right because Chicago has the cure violence program but according to the librard democrat mayor crime is going down not up just saw her on cnn telling that with straight face reminds me of kamala saying she went to the border. Another bucket of horse crap
Once again I have apparently offended some woke libtard. I still wonder in amazement at what any of them expect when reading a conservative news publication. Maybe they actually believe we care what they think? Not hardly. Everyone has an opinion, that doesn’t give it any value. I know I certainly wouldn’t waste the time reading some liberal rag that I know I would find offensive.
You are the problem with America.
