A first year Business School student collapsed Saturday on the Weeks Footbridge and later was pronounced dead at a Boston hospital.
Officials at Saint Elizabeth's Memorial Hospital said yesterday that they still don't know what killed 26-year-old David Hartman Schloer.
Schloer did not appear to be a victim of foul play, said Larry Gillis, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police. "I understand that [Schloer] had a history of cardiac problems," Gillis said.
Before coming to the B-School, Schloer spent three years working as a senior accountant for Ernst and Whinney, a San Francisco accounting firm.
"Schloer was one of our top people. He was very caring about the staff on his jobs, and he had high goals for himself," said George B. Sundby, senior manager at Ernst and Whinney. "Once he made up his mind he was goingto go to Harvard he worked hard and he did it."
A lifelong Mormon, Schloer worked as amissionary in Rosario, Argentina for two years,and graduated magna cum laude from Brigham YoungUniversity in 1983. He is survived by his wife,Diana, and two daughters, Lindsey, 1, andJacquelin, 3.
"He really was an extraordinary young man,"said Bishop Grant Pace, local leader of the MormonChurch. "He loved his wife and children immensely,and was probably as fine a Christian as I have metin recent years."
Students in one of Schloer's B-School classesare collecting money to aid Schloer's family,including a scholarship fund for his children
