On 12/15/17, the State of Iowa Medical Examiner's Office released the preliminary results of the autopsy of John Peter Koley of Le Mars, Iowa.

There was no evidence of blunt force trauma, gunshot or knife wounds.  The cause and manner of death is therefore pending waiting for toxicology results.  It is anticipated that some of those results will be known in 10-14 days.

The Plymouth/Woodbury County crime scene team did finish processing the residence late yesterday afternoon.  The Plymouth County Sheriff is still continuing to treat the death as suspicious and continues to follow up on information that has been received.
