Autopsy on dead IUP student inconclusive

INDIANA — A coroner said a preliminary autopsy done on an Indiana (Pa.) University student found dead in his dorm room is inconclusive.

Douglas James Haney, 18, of Bellefonte was found about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday when campus police were asked to check on his welfare.

Campus police said they don't expect foul play.

Indiana Coroner Michael Baker said Wednesday's preliminary autopsy didn't show a definitive cause of death and they'll look to microscopic studies and toxicology tests for clues.
