Northwest Missouri State University has scheduled a celebration of life for a student who died this week in a drowning accident in Mozingo Lake.

Northwest has scheduled a “Celebration of Jae Won Lee’s life” at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, at Centennial Garden on the Northwest campus.

Maryville Public Safety and University Police officers responded at about 8:10 p.m. Monday to a report of a missing student at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. Officers identified the victim as Jae Won Lee, 16, a first-year student at the Missouri Academy from Seoul, South Korea.

Lee’s body was recovered at about 9:30 p.m.

The death is under investigation by the Nodaway County coroner’s office, Maryville Public Safety and University Police. No foul play is suspected at this time.

The Missouri Academy is a two-year residential, early-entrance-to-college program on the Northwest campus that replaces the junior and senior years of high school. The school said Academy students enroll in the same courses as traditional University students and are held to the same academic expectations while living, socializing and studying in a learning community of peers.

Northwest is making on-site counseling assistance available to Missouri Academy students and staff.
