Stevens Glemaud, Missing Drexel University Student, Found Dead In Schuylkill River

Missing Student Found Lifeless In Philly River

A Drexel University student was found dead at around 5 p.m. Monday, when his body was discovered on the east bank of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Penn.

Stevens Glemaud, 18, was reported missing by his parents on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Glemaud was recorded on surveillance cameras returning to his dorm from a party at 3:15 a.m. on Saturday. He was last seen alive a few hours later, leaving his dorm at 6:11 a.m.

At around 6:40 a.m. Saturday, “police responded to a call about a body in the river but found nothing,” according to the Inquirer.

The Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause of his death, however, police reportedly told media they believe Glemaud committed suicide.

Glemaud, a freshman in the University’s College of Engineering, was a native of West Orange, N.J.

“University officials have been in contact with Glemaud’s family and conveyed their sincere condolences on behalf of the Drexel community,” Niki Gianakaris, a Drexel spokesperson, said in a statement. “In a close-knit community like Drexel, the death of a fellow student is deeply felt. Drexel’s Counseling Center is offering its services to members of the community who have been affected by this tragic event.”
