- MILWAUKEE Police are investigating how a 23-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student apparently fell to his death early Sunday on Milwaukee's east side.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports a stranger found Ryan Fieck face down on a running path beneath a concrete wall with a drop of about 10 feet.
The Milwaukee County medical examiner's report says Fieck had been out with friends earlier at a pub crawl. Credit cards and nearly $50 in cash were found in his pockets, along with his cell phone.
His parents, Mark and Lana Fieck, of Appleton, told police that their son was excited about graduating in December and had a few job interviews lined up.
They declined to comment to the newspaper but referred to a statement on a Facebook page created in their son's memory.
"In loving memory of the single person whose contagious, upbeat attitude and hickish humor could put a smile on even the most serious of faces," it said. "You were and will always be remembered as an amazing son, brother, friend, humanitarian, classmate as well as so many other things. May you live on through all of us that you have so positively affected throughout your life. With love, your friends and family."
