A dead body has been found inside the grounds of a Kingaroy high school, bringing this year’s Anzac Day commemorations to a tragic close.
The man, aged in his 40s, was found dead outside on the Kingaroy State High School campus just after 1pm Monday.

“As some of you may already be aware, a deceased person was found on our school grounds over the long weekend,” the letter read.
“At this stage we do not believe the person had any connection to our school. I cannot provide any further details at this point and the Queensland Police Service is currently investigating.”
