Ghanaian found dead on baseball field at Iowa college

DECORAH, Iowa — A man found dead on the Luther College campus in northeastern Iowa has been identified as a student from Ghana.

College spokesman Jerry Johnson identified him as 24-year-old Nana Kwasi Baffour-Awuah, who's better known at the Decorah school as Nabby (knobby). He was majoring in information systems and business management.


Decorah police say his body was found about 8 a.m. Saturday in the snow on the college's baseball field.

Details of his death have not been released. An autopsy has been ordered.


Johnson says Baffour-Awuah was a popular student who earned good grades. A campus prayer vigil will be held Monday in his honor.
