Divers searching the Red Cedar River near Lansing have recovered a body believed to be missing Grand Valley State University student Brendan Santo.
Michigan State University police and local law enforcement agencies found the body Friday afternoon in the Red Cedar River near U-S 127. That’s about about a mile and a half downriver from Brendan Santo’s last known location. He was last seen leaving Yakeley Hall on the MSU campus on October 29.
Dan Olsen is a spokesman for MSU.
“Certainly this is a sad day and sad news here on campus and within the community…and our hearts and prayers go out to the Santo family and all those who knew Brendan.”
MSU Public Safety continues to investigate the incident. Police say they do not suspect foul play.
