"Family Seeks Answers in Freshman Son's Mysterious Death"

The parents of 18-year-old Akul Dhawan, a freshman engineering student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, are seeking answers after he was found dead in subzero temperatures 500 feet from where he went missing following a party. They allege negligence on the part of the police in their search for Akul and in their communication with the family. The university police department's actions and response have raised more questions than answers for the grieving parents, who are now calling for an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding their son's death.
