American university student, 19, is found dead in Rome river just four days after arriving for study abroad - and someone charged $1,500 to his credit card in Milan after he went missing

An American college student was found dead in Italy's Tiber River (top right) on Monday, just four days after he landed in the country and disappeared while he was out at a bar. Beau Solomon (main left with his mother Jodi), who landed in Rome on Thursday and headed out to G-Bar near Piazza Trilussa that night, was reported missing the following day when he failed to show up for orientation. 


Early reports said the 19-year-old, a rising sophomore at the University of Wisconsin Madison, was found wearing a bloodied shirt with a wound on his head. Solomon's wallet was stolen and $1,500 had been charged to his credit card in Milan, according to his brother Jake.
