Police have found the body of Brogan Dulle, a student at the University of Cincinnati (UC) who had gone missing last week.

According to WLWT, the police said Dulle's body was in the portion of a building in Mount Auburn vacant and undergoing renovations. The building is also near where Dulle was reportedly last seen when he said he was venturing out of his apartment to search for his lost cell phone.

"The Dulle family has been informed that Brogan has been found deceased. Brogan's family is heartbroken by the loss of their beloved son and brother. The family is overwhelmingly grateful for the love, prayers, support time given by the Cincinnati community. I ask for us all to respect the need for the family to grieve and support one another in privacy at this time," read a statement on the "Help find Brogan Dulle" Facebook page.

The owner of the building, which is currently only part occupied, said he noticed "something suspicious" around nine p.m. Monday. Police identified Dulle's deceased body and reportedly suspected a self-inflicted death, however the Hamilton County Coroner's Office has not released an official cause of death.

"Brogan was part of our university family, and our hearts are heavy with the news of this devastating loss," UC President Santa Ono said in a statement Tuesday. "On behalf of the University of Cincinnati, I want to express our deepest condolences to his parents, siblings, family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved him.  I also want to extend my admiration and appreciation to the caring and dedicated corps of volunteers and law enforcement officials who never gave up hope. The outpouring of support and sympathy from the broader community has been truly humbling."

The search for Dulle started Sunday and has been beyond extensive. A neighbor told WLWT there must have been "over 200 different search teams out here looking for [Dulle]." Dulle's family, the police, Ono and UC all offered cash rewards for a lead that resulted in finding the missing boy.

"We certainly have searched the exterior of this building extensively. We did not see any sight of him," Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffery Blackwell told WLWT. "I think it would have been a difficult place for somebody to discover him unless you were inside."
