Dead man found on University of Iowa campus identified

A dead man who was found last week on the University of Iowa campus has been identified as Gabriel Moliter, 44, of Iowa City, according to university police.

Emergency responders were called to the north patio of the Stanley Hydraulic Laboratory, 320 S. Riverside Dr., at 7:15 a.m. Sept. 6th on a report of an unconscious and possibly deceased male, according to UI police. When they arrived, responders confirmed the death.

Based on a preliminary investigation and help from the Johnson County Medical Examiner, officials don’t believe foul play was involved in the death, a news release states. The release does not say what Moliter’s cause of death was.

Moliter was not a student or employee at the university, authorities said last week.
