A Fanshawe College student who went missing last month has been found dead on a beach in Port Bruce.
Nidhua Muktadir, 19, was reported missing on Dec. 4 after she was last seen one day earlier on Hawk Cliff Road about five kilometres northeast of Port Stanley, prompting a large-scale search of the area involving OPP divers and drones.
Ontario Provincial Police on Tuesday identified the body found by a citizen Saturday on Waneeta Beach as a 19-year-old missing from London since Dec. 4. They did not name the deceased.

“No foul play is suspected as police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this death,” Ontario Provincial Police said in a statement.
Abraham Muktadir, Nidhua’s brother, confirmed in a phone interview with The London Free Press he has heard from police about her body being found.
He extends his gratitude to first responders and people who searched for her, saying they worked through uphill circumstances in her disappearance, but that “we really, really appreciate you guys, and thank you.
“All I can say is that she was very strong and brave – always has been, and that’s how I would remember her,” Abraham Muktadir said.
The discovery of the missing woman’s body, roughly 40 kilometres from London, came just two days after Muktadir’s mother expressed hope that her daughter would be found alive.
