The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner on Monday identified the 93-year-old pedestrian who died after being struck by a pickup truck in Wauwatosa Friday.
David H. Gau was a retired priest and member of the St. Camillus residential community for seniors who had taught at Marquette University High School for nearly two decades.
Gau had looked both ways and was walking across the street in the 10200 block of Wisconsin Avenue around 2 p.m. on Feb. 9 when a 2011 GMC Sierra truck struck him, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner report said. Gau died of multiple blunt force injuries, the report said.
Sgt. Abby Pavlik of the Wauwatosa Police Department told the Journal Sentinel Gau was crossing from the south side of Wisconsin Avenue to the north side, while the truck was going eastbound. Pavlik said that the driver is cooperating with the police, and no charges have been filed as of Friday.
Gau was born in Fond du Lac on Nov. 8, 1930, according to an in-memoriam page published by the Midwest Province of the Jesuits. He attended Marquette University for one year before entering the Missouri Province of the Society of Jesus in 1949 at St. Stanislaus Jesuit novitiate in Florissant, Missouri.
