DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Although final tests are not yet available, a pathologist with the State Medical Examiner's office says she doesn't believe foul play was a factor in the death of Iowa State University student Jonathan Lacina.
   
Dr. Michele Catellier told Des Moines station KCCI-TV on Wednesday there was nothing obvious from the autopsy to lead her to believe that foul play was a factor.
   
The body of the 22-year-old Grinnell resident was found the night of April 14 in a building at the old Iowa State dairy farm. He had been missing since January.
   
His disappearance prompted a campus-wide search on foot, horseback and by aircraft. Dive crews also searched a campus lake.
