A woman’s body was found in a parking garage at San Jose State University, authorities said.

The woman, whose name was not immediately released, was found in the North Garage at the corner of South 10th and East San Fernando streets late Wednesday, authorities said.

The circumstances leading up to her death are under investigation. It was not immediately known whether she had ties to the university.

In a statement to the campus, Mohammed Qayoumi, university president, said, “Police assure us there is no threat to public safety.”

“On behalf of the SJSU community, my heart goes out to the victim’s family and friends,” Qayoumi wrote.

The parking garage was the scene of a double murder-suicide in 2011 that was tied to a domestic dispute.

The garage, like much of the university, is open to the public. It houses the student services center.
