EMPORIA (AP) — An Emporia State University student who had not been seen since Sunday has been found dead after an apparent motorcycle accident.

Emporia police say 24-year-old Samuel Jacob Williams, a junior from the Ivory Coast in Africa, was found dead Wednesday afternoon.

Police say Williams apparently was thrown from his motorcycle after apparently losing control on a curve Sunday. A Lyons County sheriff's deputy found his body Wednesday. Police say there were no signs of foul play.

Williams was an All-American indoor and outdoor track athlete for Emporia State. The track team has organized a candlelight vigil for Williams Thursday evening at Welsh Stadium on the university campus.

I wonder if they will perform an autopsy to rule that it was infact an accident.
