Missing Nigerian Student Found Dead In lake in Chicago

The corpse of a man which was pulled out of
Lake Michigan
near Promontory Point Park, Chicago on May
8, has been
identified as a Nigerian medical student,
Ambrose Monye,
who had been missing for more than two
weeks, Fox news
reports.
The 28-year-old who was a fourth-year
medical student at
the University of Guadalajara in Mexico and
was on a two-
year rotation at Jackson Park Hospital and
Medical Centre
in Chicago, was last seen on April 21 walking
towards the
University of Chicago’s John Crerar Library, a
medical
research library at 5730 S. Ellis Av.
Confirming the development on Friday,
Chicago Police
Department spokesperson, Officer Nicole
Trainor, said that
on May 8, a body was discovered at 5400 S.
Lake Shore
Drive.
She said it took a few days, but the body was
identified as
that of Monye, noting that he was always at
the coffee
shops in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
The spokesperson said, “He has been
identified and now
it’s a death investigation. It’s an investigation
to determine
the cause of the death,” Trainor said adding
that “it’s
unclear if foul play was involved, or even when
Monye’s
body entered the lake.
“If any sort of foul play is discovered, the
death
investigation would become a homicide
investigation,” she
added.
According to family members, Monye’s
disappearance was
strange because he was preparing to graduate
in a few
weeks. (Daily Post)
