In a third such incident this week, another Indian student was found dead in the US on Thursday. The deceased has been identified as Shreyas Reddy Beniger, a student at Linder School of Business in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The cause of his death remains unknown. However, the Consulate General of India in New York said they do not expect any foul play in the death, reported ANI.
The Consulate also condoled the death. "Deeply saddened by the unfortunate demise of Mr. Shreyas Reddy Benigeri, a student of Indian origin in Ohio. Police investigation is underway. At this stage, foul play is not suspected. The Consulate continues to remain in touch with the family and is extending all possible assistance to them," the Indian Consulate in New York posted on X.
This is the third such death this week. Earlier the week, an Indian MBA student, 25-year-old Vivek Saini, was brutally hammered to death by a homeless addict. The horrifying crime was caught on camera.
A day later, Neel Acharya, an Indian student, was reported missing and later confirmed dead by the Tippecanoe County Coroner's Officer. Acharya, a student of Purdue University in Indiana, was last seen by an Uber driver who dropped him at the campus.
The next day, an email from the Office of the Dean of Students confirmed Acharya's death. "A deceased person was found that matched Neel's description and had Neel's ID on (him)," it said.
Another student, 18-year-old Akul B Dhawan at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign was found dead last month with signs of hypothermia. Dhawan reportedly went missing in the early hours of January 20 and was found dead almost 10 hours later on the back porch of a building near the university campus in west Urbana in the US state of Illinois.
