Earlier this month, a 23-Indian student, Mitkumar Patel who had gone missing in the UK in November, was found dead in the river Thames in London. Mitkumar Patel had arrived in the UK for higher studies in September and was reported missing on November 17.
The Metropolitan Police discovered his body in the river Thames near the Canary Wharf area of east London on November 21 and was declared dead by paramedics.
“The death is not believed to be suspicious,” the Met Police said.
According to the ‘Evening Standard’ newspaper, the student was due to move to Sheffield on November 20 to start a degree at Sheffield Hallam University and a part-time job at Amazon.
After he failed to return from a daily walk to the home where he was staying in London, his relatives grew worried and reported him missing. They later found that he had left his set of keys behind.
