OT: "Falsely Accused Student of Boston Attacks Confirmed Dead" (link) . . ,

"The body of a man found in a Rhode Island river is a student mistakenly identified as one of the Boston bombers, medical officials confirm. . . .

"On Monday [a] social media website . . . issued a public apology for its coverage of the Boston bombings after it wrongly named Tripathi and other people as suspects.

"His sister, Sangeeta, told the BBC of her family's anxiety at how fast 'completely unsubstantiated claims were spreading.'

"She described how media surrounded their family home after her brother was wrongly named."

"Sunil Tripathi, missing since March, was wrongly identified as one of the Boston bomb suspects"

I was under the impression he was missing before the bombing, though.

Also, that the police aren't suspecting foul play at this time?
