The FBI is investigating the death of a National Park Service worker who law enforcement found with "severe injuries" last week, according to the National Park Service.
The National Park Service said in a statement to NBC News on Friday that law enforcement authorities found a worker — a 34-year-old woman from Fresno, California — injured at an employee housing unit in Yosemite Valley on March 20.
The federal agency did not describe her injuries or specify if they appeared to be linked to a crime. However, it said it would be working with the sheriff’s office and the FBI to investigate the worker’s death.
The Fresno County Sheriff's Office and the FBI confirmed their involvement in the investigation in separate emails.
