While East Chicago Police continue to investigate the death of a teacher at East Chicago Lighthouse Charter School over the weekend, a school official called him an “amazing spirit” and extended her condolences to his family and Northwest Indiana’s entire school community.
Officers then led to the second-floor stairwell landing, where they found a deceased male, identified as Craig Jones, 47, of Gary, a teacher at the school. Police do not believe foul play was involved. “Mr. Jones was an amazing spirit and valued team member that was committed to the work of helping scholars both in and out of the classroom. His contagious tone of positivity and laughter was infectious if ever you had a chance to meet him,” Beasley said in her email.
A preliminary police investigation indicated that Jones contacted his family on Feb. 22 and advised them that he was working late at the school. Jones then called his family for a ride home at around 10:30 p.m.
