Preliminary findings from an autopsy Monday indicate that University of Wisconsin student Hao Yu, 19, who was found dead in an Eagle Heights apartment Sunday, died of natural causes, the Dane County Coroner's Office said.

Coroner John Stanley said the autopsy indicated Yu's death "did not involve trauma and was consistend with a natural manner of death."

Stanley did not disclose the exact cause of death, and said a final determination of the cause will be made after further miscroscopic and toxicological studies are finished.

Yu was a guest at the apartment, UW Police Officials said. His identity was released after his family in China had been notified of the death.
