Body found in river is missing UNH student
The office of the state’s chief medical examiner confirmed that a body found in the Piscataqua River was a University of New Hampshire student who went missing nearly two weeks ago. Police said the body was discovered Sunday morning near Prescott Park in Portsmouth. In a statement Monday, the university said the body recovered was that of 19-year-old Jonathan Zygmont, a first-year UNH student who lived on campus and was last seen near the park on Sept. 17. The university said that foul play was never suspected, but that police were concerned for the student’s well-being.
