‘Missing man’ found dead in Adyar river mouth

The Adyarite who had gone ‘missing’ on Oct.30 was found dead in the Adyar river on Sunday.

Police in Pattinapakkam zone who were alerted to the ‘missing man’ case got to know of a body that was seen floating near the sand bar of the river near the ‘broken bridge’ off Besant Nagar and Srinivasapuram and had alerted the man’s family members who recognised him.

A note from the family said that Govindarajan had slipped near the river side and may have drowned.

He was a popular marathon runner and community activist and had headed a IT company too; the search for him on social media was furious and wide but leads did not come from that effort.
