London: British police said on Wednesday they do not believe an Indian student whose body was found in a canal was attacked.
Souvik Pal, an 18-year-old student at Manchester Metropolitan University in northwest England, had been missing since New Year's Eve after celebrating with friends at a nightclub in the city.
Police said his body was found in a canal in the Old Trafford area of the city, which is home to the stadium of Manchester United Football Club.
Detective Chief Inspector Colin Larkin of Greater Manchester Police said: "Our thoughts and condolences are with Souvik Pal's family at this devastating time and our officers are doing all they can to support them."
"We do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and a file will be submitted to the coroner in due course," Mr Larkin said.
The student's father Santanu had flown from the family's home city of Bangalore to help with the police search.
