The Dhawan family believes their son’s death could have been prevented, and they still want answers from campus police.

A family in Foster City is grieving and looking for answers months after their son died of hypothermia while at college in Illinois. The family says he was less than 300 feet from where he went missing but say campus police never found him during their search. Finding out that your child has died is a parent’s worst nightmare. "He was supposed to be here for spring break. Now we’ll never see him again," said Ish Dhawan, Akul’s father.

"This is all we know, is that he was in the car. A police officer drove by. That is not the search procedure, right? If you look at the policies and procedures, that requires a foot search. If the officer had gotten out and looked around the area of Busey-Evans Hall, he would’ve found him," said Dhawan. Dhawan says Akul’s friend called him to say his son was missing, so he called campus police himself.
