An 18-year-old Chinese student was found dead Wednesday in Lake Whatcom in Whatcom County, Washington, US, about 24 hours after he had been reported missing, officials confirmed.
The male student, identified as Wang Bin, was camping with a tour group from Seattle as part of a longer US visit, local paper The Bellingham Herald reported.
He was last seen about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday local time at the top of a steep campground trail that lead to the water, said Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo. Wang’s shirt, shoes and other personal items were found nearby. Wang didn’t know how to swim, Elfo said.
Wang’s body was turned over to the local medical examiner and his parents have been notified.
