In the fifth incident this year, 23-year-old Indian-origin doctoral candidate Sameer Kamath was discovered dead at a nature reserve in the US. Kamath, a student at Purdue University, was set to complete his program in 2025. This follows the recent death of another Purdue student, Neel Acharya, prompting concerns about the mental health challenges faced by the Indian student community in the US. Experts stress the need for increased awareness and support systems to address issues like mental stress, loneliness, and substance abuse among international students. Authorities are conducting investigations into the incidents.
