The body of a Nigerian medical student, Ambrose Monye, 28, who has reportedly been missing for the past two weeks, has been found in Lake Michigan.
Monye who had been on a two-year rotation at Jackson Park Hospital and Medical Centre in Chicago, had last been seen on April 21, 2016, walking towards the University of Chicago’s John Crerar Library, a medical research library at 5730 S. Ellis Avenue.
Family members had described Monye’s disappearance as strange considering the fact that he had been preparing for his graduation in a few weeks.
His younger brother, Joseph Ambrose, had revealed during an interview with Dateline NBC prior to Monye’s discovery, that the lights in Monye’s apartment had all been on, and the refrigerator fully stocked with groceries when the police had checked on him after he had been reported missing.
“He’s just four weeks from his goal. His tickets to graduation are already bought for the ceremony. He ordered his cap and gown and everything.
“I still have hope that my brother is out there, but it’s hard to be optimistic since it’s been so long.
“He frequents the coffee shops in the Hyde Park neighborhood.”
