The body of a Nigerian medical student who has
reportedly been missing for the past two weeks,
has been found in Lake Michigan.
The reports reveal that the body of Ambrose Monye, 28,
who had been a fourth-year medical student at the
University of Guadalajara in Mexico, had been pulled out of
Lake Michigan near Promontory Point Park on Sunday, May
8, 2016.
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.
Reports reveal that 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.”
Chicago Police Department spokeswoman, Officer Laura
Amezaga tells NewsOne On May 8, 2016, that a body had
been discovered at 5400 S. Lake Shore Drive, adding that it
had taken a few days before the body had been identified as that of Monye.
"He has been identified and now it’s a death investigation. It’s an investigation to determine the cause of the death."
Trainor reveals that it is unclear if there has been any foul
play or any clear timing as to when Monye's body had
entered the lake, but proof of foul play will turn the case into a homicide investigation.

May his soul rest in peace.
