A freshman at Penn State University who was reported missing was found dead early Monday evening.
Joseph Dado, 18, was last seen at about 3 a.m. Sunday leaving Phi Gamma Delta.
The Collegian, the university's student newspaper, reports that maintenance workers found Dado in a stairwell on campus at about 6 p.m. Monday.
He apparently fell 15 feet.
His friends became concerned when he didn't return to his dorm room and didn't answer their phone calls or e-mails.
Dado was majoring in engineering.
He recently graduated from Greater Latrobe Senior High School.
"Joe's a wonderful young man – he was an absolute pleasure to have in the building," Assistant Principal Steven LoCascio said. "He was a very good student, as evidenced by the fact that he was going to a fine institution like Penn State. He was a nice athlete as well – very well-liked by peers and students."
Dado's parents were on campus Monday passing out fliers and searching for him.
