Archdiocese of Miami spokeswoman Mary Ross said a volunteer went into a storage trailer between 9:30 and 9:45 a.m. and found the body of a carnival worker inside.

She said the school was on lockdown until police completed their investigation, but students were not exposed to the scene or even to authorities on campus.

Ross said Wednesday was the final preparation day ahead of the carnival. 

The worker's identity was not immediately released.
