An NYPD Scuba team discovered the body of a missing Bangladeshi college student in Central Park Wednesday who had been staying with family in Jamaica before he disappeared.

Police divers found Aronno Haque’s body in the Central Park lake Wednesday after a search the day before turned up nothing, authorities said.

Haque had last been seen near Union Square Park in Manhattan Monday afternoon.

The young Bangladeshi man was studying at Wabash College in Indiana and was staying with an aunt in downtown Jamaica, according to a post on Reddit, the social news website.
