  We report the discovery of a possible symbiotic star, in the Large Magellanic
Cloud (LMC). The object under consideration here, designated as RP 870, was
detected during the course of a comprehensive H$\alpha$ survey of the LMC by
Reid & Parker (2012). The spectrum of RP 870 showed high ionization emission
lines of He I, He II and [O III] and molecular absorption bands of TiO
$\lambda$$\lambda$6180, 7100. The collective signatures of a hot component
(high excitation/ionization lines) and of a cool component (TiO molecular
bands) are seen in RP 870, from which we propose it as a symbiotic star. Since
known symbiotic systems are rare in the LMC, possibly less than a dozen are
known, we thought the present detection to be interesting enough to be
reported.
