A Bangladeshi student, Sami Uzzaman, 24, who was reported missing on January 20 after being last seen at the Winnipeg’s Fort
Garry area in Manitoba in Canada on January 9, has been found dead in the area, local police have confirmed.
Sami was a student of Computer Science at University of Manitoba. He was also employed as a data analyst at a local transport company called Bison Transport.
His body was discovered Wednesday after a search of the neighbourhood by the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) and volunteers with Winnipeg Search and Rescue, reports Canadian news outlet CBC News.
“We wish to thank those volunteers for their help and recognize the Bear Clan’s efforts throughout the week as well,” police said in a Thursday news release.
Foul play is not believed to be involved in his death, police said, adding that Sami Uzzaman’s family has been notified and is requesting privacy at this time.
