GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Police in Grand Haven say that two GVSU students were found dead in a vehicle Wednesday.

 

Douglas Ward, 26, and Amber Brown, 20, were found by one of Brown's family members in Muskegon County. The car was in a wooded area near Indian Bay Road and Meinert Road.
