ITHACA, NY (WENY) - Cornell University Police have confirmed a body recovered Friday morning near Ithaca Falls is that of a missing student.

Cornell University Police, New York State Police, the Ithaca Police Department and the Ithaca Fire Department recovered a body from Fall Creek a short distance upstream from Ithaca Falls Friday morning. They confirmed the person's identity as Aalaap Narasipura, a 20-year-old Cornell student.

Narispura was reported missing by friends Wednesday. Authorities are still investigating the circumstances of Narasipura's death, but they say no foul play is suspected.

Ryan Lombardi, Vice President for Student and Campus Life at Cornell University, issued the following statement:

Dear Cornell students,

It is with profound sadness that I write with the news that law enforcement search teams have recovered Aalaap Narasipura's body. No foul play is suspected, and a full investigation of the circumstances is underway. 

A senior electrical engineering student in the College of Engineering, Aalaap was an ambitious student and was scheduled to graduate early this December. He was active on the Ultimate Frisbee team, enjoyed taking photos, and planned to continue at Cornell to pursue a Master of Engineering degree.

As we all struggle to process Aalaap's death, I encourage you to reach out to others for support and to make use of the resources listed at the bottom of this email. For community members wishing to come together during this difficult time there will be a community support meeting on Friday, May 19, at 4 p.m. in the One World Room, Anabel Taylor Hall.

On behalf of the Cornell University community, I extend our deepest condolences to Aalaap's family and friends as they grieve this tragedy. They are in our thoughts as we all come to grips with the enormity of this loss.

Ryan Lombardi 
Vice President for Student & Campus Life
