Police have confirmed that the body of Jiwon Lee, a 29-year-old student at Columbia Dental School, was found Saturday in the Hudson River. 

Lee had last been seen at her Upper West Side apartment before she went missing on April 1. The New York Post reports that Lee had been tracked using cell-phone data to the George Washington Bridge, which lead to speculation that she had jumped. The NYPD also found a suicide note at her apartment. 

Lee was a stand-up comedian, AmeriCorps volunteer, and president of the American Dental Association. Before her death, her brother Matt Lee had raised $87,414 in donations to help find his missing sister.
