Indian-origin student Akul Dhawan has died after freezing to death near a club in the US that refused him entry.

The Champaign County Coroner's Office in Illinois said this week that Mr Dhawan, who was found dead last month, died of hypothermia following "acute alcohol intoxication and prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, which significantly contributed to his death."

According to reports, Mr Dhawan on January 20 had gone out for drinks with his friends to a club near the university campus in Urbana in the US state of Illinois. However, the staff at the club denied him entry.
