Authorities in New Hampshire have found two Dartmouth College students dead in the Connecticut River after they had been missing since May.
The New Hampshire Department of Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement announced Monday that Wong Jiang, a 20-year-old student who went missing on July 7, had been found in the river about 65 feet from the shore.
Authorities said in a press release that Chan was last seen around 9:30 p.m. on July 6th, when he was “participating in an informal social gathering on a pier near the Dartmouth Boathouse along the Connecticut River.”
“Items found near the pier indicated that Mr. Chan had not left the river area. Conservation officers and New Hampshire Marine Patrol troopers began searching the river by boat, and a New Hampshire Department of Fish and Wildlife ROV/sonar team began searching using a remotely operated underwater camera,” the agency continued. “…At approximately 7:25 p.m., Mr. Chan’s body was discovered by underwater camera in the Connecticut River, not far from the pier where he was last seen.”

The cause of Chan’s death was unknown as of July 7, but Hanover police do not suspect foul play, but are investigating a possible bullying incident, Hanover Police Chief Charles Dennis said. He spoke to WMUR9.
“There is certainly evidence from witnesses, conversations and so forth that alcohol was involved and again, that’s all part of our investigation. We received an anonymous email through the university this morning saying bullying may be involved so we will certainly be looking into that as well,” Dennis told the outlet.

“She was a second-year doctoral student majoring in psychology and brain sciences with a particular interest in communication challenges in autism,” John Cull, dean of the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, said in a statement Monday.
“His supervisor described Kessin as an extraordinarily talented, humble and truly kind researcher. He loved cats so much that he would sneak pictures of them into every poster and presentation he ever put together. He loved the Upper Valley, where he discovered the joys of hiking, skiing and road trips,” Kull wrote.
