TOPSHAM, Maine (WGAN) Police are investigating after a Bowdoin College student was found dead in Topsham Sunday.

Police were called around 7 a.m. to a parking lot near the Frank J. Wood Bridge, where they located the body of a 20-year-old Bowdoin student from California.

The state medical examiner’s office conducted an autopsy, but as of early Monday morning, police were still waiting for the results.
