Raven Gileau had a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit the night she died, Ames Police determined.

This conclusion was based on information from the Ames police investigation and information from the State Medical Examiner, Ames Police Cmdr. Mike Brennan said.

The State Medical Examiner also determined Gileau died from “multiple blunt force trauma injuries,” which is consistent with being struck by a train, Brennan said.

“We’re looking at this as an accident,” he said.

Brennan said it is still unclear as to why Gileau was on the train tracks.

“But in this case I don’t think we’re going to know,” he said.

Gileau, an ISU student, was found alongside the railroad tracks near 13th Street and Ontario Avenue. She had been reported missing by her roommate.

Police do not have footage of the accident, Brennan said. They do have tape from trains that shows Gileau lying alongside the tracks after she was hit. However, the cameras on the trains automatically tape over their footage after a certain amount of time, and the footage from the train that police believe hit Gileau was taped over by the time investigators were able to look at it.

The case will soon be given to the Story County Attorney’s Office, Brennan said.

“Pretty much, we’re done with the investigation,” he said.

Brennan said from their investigation, police determined Gileau, 19, had been drinking at her apartment prior to going to Project 20/20, as well as while she was at the Camupustown bar.

“That information is turned over to the county attorney’s office to make a determination as to whether or not any charges will be filed against anyone,” he said.

He said the county attorney’s office will determine if those who provided alcohol will be charged. In certain cases resulting in death, providing alcohol to a minor can result in a charge of a class D felony.

Project 20/20 has denied that Gileau was drinking while she was at the bar.

Gileau left Project 20/20 with a male companion early the morning of April 25. The two were presumably on their way home.

With thunderstorms and wind gusts that night, Gileau, who was wearing shorts, was told by her friend to stay under the bridge while he got his car to take her home.

When the man returned with a friend, Gileau was gone.
