4. American Student Found Dead During Summer University Program
Study abroad programs are highly sought after and can offer great experiences travelling the world and prestigious education at some of the world’s best Universities and Colleges. However, things took a turn for the worst for Beau Solomon when he travelled to Rome to study at John Cabot University. In July of 2016, 19 year-old Solomon, from the University of Wisconsin, went missing shortly after arriving in Rome. After not arriving at the University, his roommate reported his absence and officials were alerted. Three days later, Solomon was found dead in the Tiber River. Surveillance footage showed three men who supposedly brought Solomon to the riverbank after mugging him. The men left and Solomon was approached by Massimo Galioto, a homeless man who was suspected of pushing Solomon into the river. The footage showed Solomon was alive when he fell or was pushed into the river, but was soon taken away by the current and eventually drowned to death.
