Indian Student Found Dead in University of Illinois

HI INDIA NEWS DESK
CHICAGO, IL- An 18-year-old student from India named Akul Dhawan was found dead in the university campus of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The student was found dead on the back porch after his roommate reported him missing. After a search was conducted he was found dead.

According to reports, the roommate called the police at 1:30am in the night after he did not find his roommate and his phone was unreachable.

According to the father of the deceased student there were concerns amongst Akul’s friends that there may be a potential of him freezing to death due to absence of a coat and the bone-chilling weather hovering around -20F and -14 F

An autopsy on the student has found that there was evidence of hypothermic skin changes.

Dhawan’s parents live in California. He chose University of Illinois, even though his parents wanted him to study closer home because of his passion for robotics and he got admission in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The parents are now demanding answers from the university.
