An American college student, who went missing eight days ago during a vacation in Japan, has been found dead, his heartbroken family revealed Saturday.
James “Weston” Higginbotham, a 20-year-old Auburn University student from Alabama, disappeared May 29 while traveling in Japan with his parents and younger brother to celebrate his sibling’s high school graduation. That day, Weston decided not to accompany his family on a visit to a temple in Kyoto. Instead, he stayed behind at the hotel after lunch and planned to spend the afternoon exploring the city on his own.
