The Florida State University student who went missing two weeks ago was found dead Tuesday morning by Tallahassee Police.
Ryan Uhre’s body was found in a building in downtown Tallahassee when investigators checked an open window on the building’s second floor. Police were re-canvassing the area after Uhre, 23, showed up on surveillance-camera footage from a nearby alleyway.
Tallahassee Police spokesman Officer David Northway said at a press conference that foul play is not suspected, but the cause of Uhre’s death is unknown and still being investigated.
“We are keeping it open and active, and we will do everything we can in order to find the cause of death for Mr. Uhre and his family,” Northway said.
Uhre was last seen leaving the area of Andrew’s Restaurant on Feb. 2 and was reported missing to campus police five days later.
Northway said police are collecting forensic evidence, but because it involves chemical analysis, the results will take time to develop.
“We feel the profound loss of a life ending far too soon, and our thoughts and prayers go out to Ryan’s family, which has shown much courage during the past few weeks,” wrote FSU spokeswoman Jeanette De Diemar in an email.
