Virginia authorities confirmed that the body recovered from a pond earlier this week amid a search mission for Kyle Benjamin Coleman was that of the 19-year-old college student.
Coleman disappeared after a car crash in Fairfax County, police said. He was last seen on Saturday, June 7, around 12:15 a.m., and his vehicle was found unoccupied, prompting an investigation and search efforts in the nearby area.
In an update on June 10, Fairfax County Police said a body was recovered from a small body of water in Tysons, a city roughly 13 miles outside of Washington, D.C.
Coleman's remains were found "submerged in a nearby retention pond surrounded by thick brush," the agency said in a June 11 press release.
