There is no indication of foul play in the death of Ithaca College freshman William Jacobson, Ithaca and New York state police officials said at a press conference today in the Office of Public Safety lobby.

A State Police dive team found Jacobson’s body in about eight feet of water in the Farm Road pond this morning. Acting Ithaca Police Chief Edward Vallely said there were no visible injuries on the body, and the location of the pond suggested Jacobson was taking a normal route back to his residence hall.

Jacobson was last seen leaving a party at 105 Grandview Ave. around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

Capt. Lawrence Jackman of the New York State Police said there were other factors that have led investigators to rule out any suspicious circumstances.

“There’s no indication there was trouble at the party,” Jackman said. “The path he was on is what we would expect he would be on returning to his residence.”

A vigil will be held for Jacobson at 8 p.m. in Muller Chapel.
