 HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) — A Pennsylvania college student who disappeared following a rugby tournament in Bermuda was found dead Monday after an intensive search of the British island territory. 
 
 Searchers found the body of Mark Dombroski, 19, at the base of a colonial-era fort in a park not far from where he was last seen walking by himself on CCTV footage, officials with the Bermuda Police Service said at a news conference. 
 
 A cause of death was not released but forensic experts were still processing the scene where his body was found and an autopsy was planned, said Acting Commissioner James Howard. 
 
 "Bermuda Police Service extends our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends," Howard said after a day of searching that included local authorities, volunteers and Dombroski's family. 
 
 Dombroski was a member of the rugby team at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia and had come to Bermuda to compete in a tournament. He disappeared early Sunday, with video footage showing him walking alone and looking at his phone as he left a bar where his friends had gathered. 
 
 He was found at the base of Fort Prospect in a wooded area known as the arboretum and near an athletic center where the team had played during the tournament. 
 
 Dombroski's family rushed to the island to join the search and retrace his steps. 
 
 "We dearly love our son, we cherish our son. ... We want him back," his mother, Lisa Dombroski, said at a news conference with police officials. "We thank the citizens of Bermuda. People have been with us shoulder to shoulder throughout this ordeal." 
 
 Detective Sgt. Jason Smith said there's no evidence Dombroski was drunk, or that alcohol played a role in his disappearance. 
 
 Lisa Dombroski speculated her son, who had hurt his shoulder in a game that day and wasn't feeling well, had simply wanted to call it a night. She said the surveillance footage showed him favoring his arm. 
 
 "He wasn't in a celebratory kind of mood," Lisa Dombroski said. "He wanted to get back."

 James Howard, acting assistant commissioner of the Bermuda Police Service, told reporters that the body of 19-year-old Mark Dombroski was found in a moat roughly one mile from the restaurant and bar where relatives last saw him just after midnight on Sunday. 
 
 A freshman, Dombroski had been in Bermuda to compete in an international rugby tournament on Thursday with St. Joseph's, a Jesuit university in suburban Philadelphia. He was scheduled to return home on Sunday. 
 
 “Foul play is not ruled out right now,” Howard said, adding that forensic specialists were still examining the scene and the body. 
 
 Surveillance footage captured Dombroski walking on a street a half-mile from the Dog House, a bar where he was last seen. It was roughly an hour after he’d left, and he was alone and talking on a cell phone, the police service said in a separate statement.

 After a relative reported Dombroski missing at 9:39 a.m. local time (8:39 a.m. ET) Sunday morning, a team of 21 police officers and 15 military personnel conducted a grid search in a residential area east of the Dog House, Howard said. 
 
 A police sergeant found the teen's body, Howard said. 
 
 “We continue to appeal for witnesses and anyone with information on the last known whereabouts of 19-year-old Mark Dombroski,” Howard said.

– The search for missing American student Mark Dombroski came to a tragic end Monday when police and soldiers in Bermuda found the 19-year-old's body. Police say the body of Dombroski, a student at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia who was in Bermuda for a rugby tournament, was found in a moat near a colonial-era fort around a mile from the bar where he was last seen early Sunday, NBC News reports. Friends saw Dombroski leave the bar and restaurant just after midnight. He was captured on surveillance footage around an hour later, walking by himself and talking on his phone. Police have not disclosed a cause of death but they say foul play has not been ruled out. Police say they do not believe alcohol was a factor in his death. Mother Lisa Dombroski, who made an emotional plea for her son's safe return earlier Monday, said Mark had hurt his shoulder and wasn't feeling well, the AP reports. "He wasn't in a celebratory kind of mood," she said. "He wanted to get back." Acting Commissioner James Howards said an autopsy is planned and forensic experts are still processing the scene. Dombroski's body was found after a massive search effort involving many local volunteers, including every rugby club on the island, reports the Royal Gazette.
