A Cornell University student of Indian origin was found dead in New York, United States, on Friday, PTI reported. Aalaap Narasipura, a senior electrical engineering student at the university, had been missing since May 17. He was last seen on the campus.
The 20-year-old’s body was found at Fall Creek, a short distance upstream from Ithaca Falls, by the Cornell University Police. The New York State Police, the Ithaca Police Department and the Ithaca Fire Department were also working on the case.
