Authorities Not Investigating Death as Murder [Video]

Investigators are not investigating Noah Presgrove‘s death as a murder, authorities confirm to PEOPLE.

The 19-year-old from Oklahoma, who was found on the side of the highway wearing nothing but his shoes on Sept. 4, 2023, which was Labor Day, died of “multiple blunt force injuries,” the medical examiner said in his summary report obtained by PEOPLE.

“Currently,” Oklahoma Department of Public Safety spokesperson Sarah Stewart tells PEOPLE, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol “is not investigating Presgrove’s death as a murder.”

“The investigation is not over,” she added in the email to PEOPLE, noting that both the state highway patrol and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation “continue to investigate” the teen’s death.

Presgrove had gone missing over the Labor Day holiday, following a party that had lasted for days. 

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Zach Wright later found his body off Highway 81 in Jefferson County at 6:18 a.m. on Labor Day, according to the medical examiner’s summary report.
