BANGKOK — Police in Thailand have recovered the body of an Arizona State
University student who went missing after a late-night swim off a resort island.

Police told The Associated Press that Joshua Shane’s body washed ashore
Thursday afternoon local time. Authorities said Shane appeared to have
drowned.

The 21-year-old ASU student disappeared after he went swimming with at least
three friends Tuesday night. The university said he had been studying abroad.

Police said a teacher accompanying the students confirmed his identity and that
Shane was wearing the same shorts and T-shirt as when he was last seen.
