NEW YORK (AP) ? An initial autopsy for a prominent French scholar found dead in his hotel room requires further study.
The medical examiner's office said Wednesday that toxicology and other tests would be done on the body of Richard Descoings (day-KWAHNG') to determine a cause of death.
Descoings was found in his hotel room after he failed to show up for a Columbia University conference.
He served as the director of the Paris Institute of Political Studies, or Sciences Po, one of France's top colleges.
Police said there were no obvious signs of foul play.
