It was reported by his roommate that Dhawan went missing when the temperature was a bone-chilling -17 degrees Celsius.
Dhawan's body was later discovered in Champaign, Illinois, very close to the university campus.
According to the autopsy report, the changes in Dhawan's skin were consistent with hypothermia.
