1. The body of missing San Diego State student Austin Bice has been found in a shallow river that runs through western Madrid, not far from the Spanish nightclub where the 22-year- old was last seen Feb. 25.

A Spanish police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Bice was found in the Manzanares River and that the cause of death was unknown. There were no signs of foul play, according to several published reports.

Tuesday's news comes a day after more than 100 students held a candlelight vigil at SDSU for Bice, a senior who went to Spain in mid-January to study international business at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.
