Police say death of man in Ames appears to be accidental

July 20, 2005 By admin

Iowa State University police have released more details on the dead man found Tuesday in a creek near the campustown area of the school in Ames. Police have identified the man as 27-year-old Jacob Hobson, who’s listed as a senior from Eldora in the I-S-U student directory. Police say a preliminary autopsy by the Assistant State Medical Examiner shows Hobson died as a result of drowning and a blow to the head. They say they’ve found no indication of any foul play — and it appears at this time that the death was the result of an accidental fall. Police say they’re awaiting a final determination on the of the cause and manner of death until they get back results of all medical tests conducted on the body.
