A Wisconsin student reported missing shortly after he arrived in Rome for an exchange program has been found dead in the Tiber River.
Beau Solomon, 19, a personal finance major at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was last seen by friends early Friday morning, and his roommate notified John Cabot University when he didn't see Solomon at orientation, The Associated Press reports. His family said his credit cards were used after he vanished, and the Italian news agency ANSA reports two witnesses claimed to see a man throw a person into the Tiber the night Solomon disappeared. The cause of Solomon's death is not yet known. His family said Solomon wanted to become a lawyer, and was an athlete who beat cancer as a child.
