A University of California, Berkeley student missing in Nice, France, since Thursday's terror attack has been confirmed dead, according to university officials.
Nicolas Leslie, 20, was on a study-abroad program and had gone to the city's promenade to watch the Bastille Day fireworks when a truck plowed through the packed crowd, killing 84 and injuring hundreds.
Three other UC Berkeley students were injured in the attack, two with broken legs and one with a broken foot.
But Leslie was missing, prompting a frantic search by university and local officials, and family.
French officials confirmed his death Sunday, according to a statement released by the university.
Leslie is the second UC Berkeley student killed in a terrorist attack this summer. Sophomore Tarishi Jain was killed in an attack on a restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh, about two weeks ago.
"This is tragic, devastating news," UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks said Sunday. "All of us in the UC Berkeley family _ both here on campus and around the world _ are heartbroken to learn that another promising young student has been lost to senseless violence."
Leslie's Facebook page said he was from Milan, Italy. He had been living in Southern California and went to Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, before heading to Berkeley.
After learning he was missing, Leslie's uncle and aunt personally searched the hospitals of Nice, with no luck, according to published reports.
A family friend interviewed by the Los Angeles Times before Leslie's death was confirmed described him as an only child who was "adored by everyone who knows him."
