Death of Dartmouth College student Won Jang triggers bullying investigation

According to local reports, police are investigating whether hazing may have played a role in the death of a Dartmouth student who was found dead in the Connecticut River Sunday night.

The body of Won Jang, a 20-year-old student at the Ivy League university, was recovered 20 meters offshore around 7:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, Hanover police said in a news release. He was reported missing after he was last seen alive near the docks Saturday night.

The search for Jang involved several divers and a sonar team with an underwater camera, which eventually found the body, according to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Items found near the dock indicated that Jang had not left the river area.
