Cornell University Police have identified the body of a missing Indian student at the Cornell University as 20-year old Aalaap Narasipura, who was reported by his friends as missing on Wednesday, according to the news reports and Cornell University officials. In a separate case, a 26-year-old Indian-American man was reported missing in Boston.
“It is with profound sadness that I write with the news that law enforcement search teams have recovered Aalaap Narasipura’s body. No foul play is suspected, and a full investigation of the circumstances is underway,” wrote Ryan Lombardi , the Vice President for Student & Campus Life, to the university students.
As a senior electrical engineering student in the College of Engineering, Narasipura was an ambitious student and also was scheduled to graduate early in this December, said Lombardi.
“He was active on the Ultimate Frisbee team, enjoyed taking photos, and planned to continue at Cornell to pursue a Master of Engineering degree,” said Lombardi.
Narasipura’s body was found on Friday morning in Fall Creek. Police said that Narasipura’s death is still under the investigation, even though in the case no foul play is suspected, reported the Ithaca.com.
“As we all struggle to process Aalaap’s death, I encourage you to reach out to others for support. On behalf of the Cornell University community, I extend our deepest condolences to Aalaap’s family and friends as they grieve this tragedy. They are in our thoughts as we all come to grips with the enormity of this loss,” vsaid Lombardi.
