MONROE COUNTY, Ind. — The bodies of two missing Indiana University students, Siddhant Shah, 19, and Aryan Vaidya, 20, have been recovered from Monroe Lake.
Shah and Vaidya were boating on a pontoon with friends on Monroe Lake on Saturday afternoon, April 15, when the group anchored to swim. When both men did not resurface, friends tried to help but were unsuccessful.
Rescue units utilizing side scan sonar and scuba divers searched the area before suspending search operations for the night due to darkness on April 16. Conservation Officers resumed the search the following two days until the victims were found on Tuesday, April 18, in 18 feet of water in an area east of the Paynetown Marina.
