University of Texas at Dallas student found dead a week after he vanished
A University of Texas at Dallas student was found dead a week after he disappeared, officials said.
Andrew Zhou Li, 20, was last seen on the evening of Feb. 24 at his on-campus apartment. Richardson police found him dead off campus, the university's vice president for student affairs, Gene Fitch, said in an email sent Saturday to students and faculty and staff members.
Police found Li's body Saturday morning in the 3200 block of Routh Creek Parkway "under the DART [Dallas Area Rapid Transit] rail tracks," a news release said.
The cause of death is under investigation.
The university said police believe there is no threat to students and faculty members on campus, and it shared mental health resources for the community.
"We all grieve with Andrew’s family and friends at this sorrowful outcome," Fitch said. "We offer our sincere condolences to all who knew him."
The university will hold its annual "Comets Remember" ceremony on March 19 to honor all the students who died during the academic year, Fitch said.
