(CNN) — A body found Tuesday in Rhode Island’s Providence River has been identified as that of Sunil Tripathi, a Brown University student who had been missing since mid-March, police said.
No foul play is suspected, police said, citing the state medical examiner’s office.
It might take two months to determine the cause of death of the 22-year-old philosophy major, said Dara Chadwick of the Rhode Island Health Department.
The identification was made through forensic dental examination, Chadwick said.
His relatives’ search for Tripathi was detailed on a Facebook page, “Help us find Sunil Tripathi.” They had temporarily taken down the page after they were inundated by ugly comments when he was falsely identified on social media as a possible suspect in last week’s Boston Marathon bombings.
Tripathi was last reported seen early March 16, on a security video walking south on Brook Street in Providence, near his home. His last recorded computer activity was shortly before that sighting.
“He was seen on the 15th, Friday, hanging out with his friends, talking to family members, all normal activities, nothing out of the ordinary that anyone detected,” his brother Ravi told CNN affiliate WPRI on April 10.
Tripathi had been on leave from the Ivy League school, meaning he was granted time off but remained a student there.
He was trying to figure out what he wanted to do, Ravi told WPRI.
He described his brother as a quiet person who enjoyed the little things in life. His preferred food was vegetarian, and he was a talented saxophonist, the family said.
Sunil, who had been living in Providence since 2008, grew up in Radnor, Pennsylvania.

Tuesday they found a body in Rode Island in the Providence river, They identified him as a man named Sunil Tripathi. He has been missing since March 16. When they found his body they said they think that there was no foul play, but they aren’t for sure. They also say it will take about 2 months to discover the cause of his death. He was last seen March 15, a friday, hanging out with his friends and family nothing out of the ordinary. Also video cameras saw him on the 16th of March as well. When he went missing they made a Facebook page for him, asking to help find him but had to take it down because people were saying hatful things, thinking he was a suspect in the Boston bombing. But he was a good kid who went to the Ivy League school, but he was on time off from there. And also they found out it was him threw dental examination.

I thinks its very sad that he died and then was found in a river bank. I hope they find out what happened to him soon, so the family gets some knowledge on what happened to him. Also I think its a terrible people would say rude things about him just because of his race, I feel bad for the family that they had to read those hurtful things about their son while they are sad about him missing too. But i’m glad they found him so the family doesn’t need to worry anymore if he’s hurting and they got some closure. And I hope there was not any foul play so when he died so he didn’t have to die in pain. And I hope they find out what happened to him soon. And to pray for the family while they go threw this hard time.
