Police Investigate Deaths Of University Of Idaho Students

Police investigations continue into the deaths of two University of Idaho students in Moscow. They died in separate incidents over the three day weekend. 

Moscow Police say 18 -year-old Joseph Wiedrrick of Hailey, Idaho was found dead on Monday after being reported missing by his dormitory roommate at noon on Sunday. Search and rescue teams spent the rest of Sunday and most of Monday looking for him. They found his body under a bridge just over three miles from campus. No foul play is suspected.

A second 18-year-old male was found dead in the Wallace Complex dormitory early Saturday. Moscow Police say the student died from a self- inflicted gunshot wound. No other students were in the room at the time of the death, according to police.

The university says its counseling services are available to anyone affected by these losses.
