No foul play suspected in death at Fermilab

The DuPage County sheriff is investigating the death of a woman late Thursday morning at Fermilab in Batavia, and said foul play is not suspected.

The person's name, age and cause of death have not been released.

Fermilab employees investigating a noise in the lab's headquarters at Wilson Hall found a "young female" lying on the floor of the atrium, according to a statement released by the lab.

Batavia paramedics declared the person dead shortly after 11 a.m.

Fermilab emergency personnel, including an on-site doctor, were called to the scene immediately.

The multistory atrium is in the center of the 16-story building. There are several bridges.

The atrium has an information desk, and seating areas for the lab's cafeteria.

Fermilab officials directed requests for more information to the sheriff's office.
