A 20-year-old Dartmouth student was found dead Sunday in the Connecticut River, according to police in Hanover, New Hampshire.
Won Jang was last seen on Saturday evening before being reported missing the next day. While the cause of his death is yet to be determined, foul play is not suspected, Hanover Police Chief Charles Dennis said in a release.
Authorities responded to reports of Jang’s disappearance at about 3:15 p.m. Sunday. They were directed to the area around 8 Boathouse Road. Multiple Dartmouth boathouses are located on the road, which runs next to the Connecticut River.
Jang was last seen by the docks near the water around 9:30 p.m. Saturday while attending an “informal social gathering,” according to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. When Jang did not show up for an engagement Sunday, those who knew him alerted authorities.
Local police, firefighters, and teams with the Fish and Game Department searched the area. Dive teams, boats equipped with remotely operated underwater cameras, and a drone were all used in the search for Jang, the Fish and Game Department said in a release. Items found near the dock indicated to rescuers that Jang had not left the immediate area.
Jang’s body was eventually found around 7:30 p.m. by an underwater camera not far from the dock where he was last seen, the Fish and Game Department said. His body was recovered approximately 65 feet offshore, Hanover police said.
Jang, a native of Middletown, Delaware, was studying biomedical engineering and economics at Dartmouth, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was a project manager at the DALI Lab.
In an email to the Dartmouth community, Dean Scott Brown confirmed Jang’s death, The Boston Globe reported. Dartmouth spokespeople did not immediately return a request for information Monday afternoon.
“We understand that this is very difficult news for our community and encourage you to seek support, whether you need a listening ear or guidance in navigating this challenging time,” Brown wrote, per the Globe. “We have been in touch with Won’s fraternity brothers and other friends.”
Kexin Cai, a graduate student at Dartmouth, was also found dead in the Connecticut River earlier this year.

Paced by a strong first half University of New Hampshire to move to 3-1 in the NACR Men’s D2 competition.
The Wildcats were paced by some impressive elusive running from Jagger Lovely, who scored three tries and was a constant threat. Wing Rudy Seaborn scored two, one on a spectacular kick-pass that he caught on the full, while No. 8 Quinton Martin was a powerhouse in traffic.
That kick-pass from flyhalf Josh Patterson to Seaborn opened the scoring and then Martin charged through after a lineout-and-maul to make it, with Patterson’s kicks, 14-0.
UMass Lowell flyhalf John Brabo nudged a smart grubber through that resulted in a RiverHawks try, but after that UNH fullback Luke Famularo started to try to key on those grubbers.
He did exceptionally well with that, preventing any similar tries and in addition it was a Famularo counter-attack that led to Lovely’s second try.
Lowell kept up the pressure with Lovely and Seaborn combining nicely. Lowell, hurt somewhat by a few players missing the game due to illness, were a bit overwhelmed.
