A 21-year-old Indian student who went missing in Canada's Ontario province three days ago has been found dead. Vanshika was last seen leaving her residence at 7 Majestic Drive in Ottawa at around 8-9 pm on Friday to view a rental room. Her phone was switched off at approximately 11.40 pm that night and she missed an important exam the next day, which was "completely out of character" for the student. The Indian High Commission in Ottawa confirmed the student's death and said it was in "close contact with the bereaved kin and local community associations to provide all possible assistance".
