SASKATOON — The Saudi Arabian Embassy is now involved in the case of missing 23-year-old Hamza Alsharief, a University of Saskatchewan student from Saudi Arabia.
Alsharief is a chemical engineering student who was reported missing in mid-December.
Const. Tisha Rae Stonehouse of the Saskatoon police has confirmed that the authorities have been in contact with Saudi officials.
A news article in the Saudi Gazette says embassy members, along with police, have been trying to track Alsharief's credit cards, cell phone and laptop.
Stonehouse would only confirm that there has been no banking activity since he disappeared.
Even though Alsharief hasn't had any contact with family in Saudi Arabia or Ontario, police don't believe foul play is involved.

I feel that if certain organs were in demand, less effort would be made to revive people. Am I being silly? Not really. I had a bad experience in hospital when my heart stopped, the doctors tried to revive me and failed. They stopped and said I was gone. I came around on my own when the nurse was giving a final BP reading of 'zero'. I heard her declare me dead! It was all I could do to shake my head but they never caught on til I was able to open my eyes. You should have seen them scramble then! I thought the nurse was going to faint. The thing is, I think we may write people off too soon when there is something of value to be gained from them.
