D.O.A. Investigation

On August 30, 2016 at approximately 10:50 a.m., officers responded 1700 E. Coldspring Lane, the CIBUS Building, which is located on the campus of Morgan State University, for report of a foul odor that was coming from a room.

Upon arrival, officers were directed to the room where maintenance workers had discovered the body of a 45 year old male graduate student. Officers pronounced the student dead on the scene.
