London: A 23-Indian student who went missing in the UK last month has been found dead in the river Thames here.
Mitkumar Patel 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.
Parth Patel, a relative, has since launched a Go Fund Me online fundraiser and raised over GBP 4,500 since last week.
“Mitkumar Patel was a 23-year (old) boy who came to the UK for higher studies on 19th September 2023,” reads the fundraising appeal.
