Greene, a native of Madison Heights, Wis., had been an MSU student of computer science between January 1997 and May 1998 but did not graduate. It is believed that he was last seen Sept. 13.
Medical examiners said no sign of foul play was discovered at the scene of the incident. It was apparent, they said, that Greene crawled into the cooler on his own, and the door either shut behind him or he shut it himself, assuming he could get out later. Examiners also said Greene probably suffocated within 90 minutes of being locked in the cooler. Examiners could not determine exactly when he died.
"The most precise we are going to get is he had been dead for a few days," Ingham County Medical Examiner Dean Sienko said.
Greene's body was found after hall residents complained of a strong odor coming from the basement.
The incident was listed as fourth-degree sexual assault and the Sexual Assault Prevention Awareness Center was notified. DPS located the suspect and is investigating the incident.
The man was issued a citation for public intoxication.
DPS located the vehicle on Richard Kennedey Drive on Wednesday afternoon and questioned a suspect. An investigation is ongoing, according to DPS reports.
The Ann Arbor Police Department and DPS used vehicles to cordon off a section of the an area near Washtenaw and Hill streets and Geddes Avenue and Oxford Road in search of a male suspect in a domestic assault early Thursday morning, DPS reports state.
