STATE COLLEGE - Pennsylvania State University said the body of a missing student has been found at the bottom of a stairwell about 75 yards from where he was last seen alive.

The university said last night that 18-year-old freshman Joseph Dado of Latrobe was found dead about 6 p.m. at the Hosler Building. University police say it looks like Dado fell about 15 feet to the concrete below.

University Police Director Steve Shelow said that there was no reason to suspect foul play and that the death appeared to be an accident. Dado was last seen alive leaving the Phi Gamma Delta house about 3 a.m. Sunday. - AP
