Authorities still are trying to determine what led to the death of an Ohio Wesleyan University and former Olentangy Orange High School soccer player last weekend.

A pedestrian called police about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, after noticing a body in Delaware Run creek south of a building the first block of South Franklin Street near OWU's campus. Investigators identified the man in the creek as Luke A. Gabbert, 19, a 2015 graduate of Olentangy Orange.

Delaware police Capt. Adam Moore said an autopsy performed by the Franklin County Coroner's Office revealed no "obvious cause of death." Toxicology reports haven't been completed, he said.

"There were no signs of traumatic injury that were visible," he said.

Moore said investigators do not think foul play was a factor in Gabbert's death.

He said investigators are trying to piece together a full timeline of Gabbert's activities between the night of Feb. 5 and the discovery of his body.

OWU men's soccer coach Jay Martin said he called a meeting Feb. 6 to inform Gabbert's teammates of the news. Martin said the reaction spoke volumes about how much the freshman already meant to the team.

"I've never seen a group of men more devastated in my life," he said.

Martin said Gabbert was a quiet, determined young man who was emerging as a leader of the team's freshmen.

"He had great character, worked hard (and) worked hard for other people," he said.

Scott Bryant, boys soccer coach at Olentangy Orange High School, said he was not surprised Gabbert was becoming a leader in college.

"He's just a kid that did everything for his teammates," he said. "He made everybody smile. He made everybody laugh."

Bryant said Gabbert could be "kind of a goofball" in order to put others, especially younger players, at ease.

"He would talk to everybody and make them feel comfortable – make them feel at home," he said.

Bryant said a former teammate who attended a vigil Feb. 6 at the high school said the team needed Gabbert there. He would have been the person who knew just what to say to make everyone laugh, even in a time of sadness.

Martin said the university plans to hang a banner featuring Gabbert's name and number at OWU's soccer field in his honor. He said the team will retire the number 19 in his honor.

As of Monday evening, Feb. 8, an online fundraising page established to pay for Gabbert's funeral costs had raised $14,500 – about double the initial goal.

Anyone who came into contact with Gabbert on the night of Feb. 5 or the morning of Feb. 6 is asked to call the Delaware Police Department at 740-203-1111.
