Missing Portland State student Kevin Ping was found dead Thursday evening in McMinnville, Oregon.
The 21 year old left his Beaverton home on Oct. 28. Friends reported Ping missing to police on Oct. 29, concerned that he may be of harm to himself.
“Our family truly appreciates the outpouring of support and love from all of Kevin’s friends, our family friends, and the community,” the Ping family wrote in a statement on Facebook. “No words can describe our thankfulness and gratitude toward everyone during this sorrowful time.”
The Ping family is organizing a slideshow in memory of Kevin.
