Karandeep Singh,19, Indian student, was found dead in a river in Salem, Oregon (USA). The tragic discovery has left the local community in shock, as family members and friends struggle to come to terms with the loss of the young man who had moved abroad in pursuit of a better future.

According to reports from Oregon authorities, Karandeep’s body was recovered from a river after an extensive search operation that began when he was reported missing several days earlier. The local police confirmed that an investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of death, though initial indications suggest no foul play.

Karandeep had moved to the United States earlier this year on a student visa and was studying while working part-time in Salem. Family members said he was a bright and hardworking student who had dreams of building a successful life abroad.

Back in India, the news of his death has cast a pall of gloom over his village. Relatives, neighbors, and friends gathered at his family home to offer condolences and prayers. Villagers described Karandeep as a respectful and ambitious youth who was loved by everyone.

The family has appealed to Indian and U.S. authorities for assistance in repatriating his body to Punjab so that his final rites can be performed at home.

Local leaders and community organizations have also extended support to the bereaved family and urged the government to ensure timely help through the Indian Consulate in San Francisco.

As the investigation continues in Oregon, Karandeep Singh’s death stands as another tragic reminder of the challenges faced by young Indians living abroad in pursuit of education and opportunity.
