ST. CLOUD — St. Cloud police say a body pulled from the Mississippi River has been positively identified as that of a missing St. Cloud State University student.
Police said Monday the Ramsey County medical examiner’s office identified the body as that of 21-year-old Jesse Dady.
According to a press release, more than 100 family and friends gathered at Atwood Mall on Sunday night for a candlelight vigil to remember Dady.
A dive time recovered Dady’s body Friday evening after searching for about a week.
Authorities believe Dady fell from a railroad bridge into the river. Police say surveillance video shows Dady alone on the bridge the night of March 25, and they do not suspect foul play.
