Zamil Ahamed Limon & Nahida Sultana Bristy Obituary, Death – USF Community Mourns Loss of Two Graduate Students
With heavy hearts, the University of South Florida (USF) community is mourning the tragic deaths of Zamil Ahamed Limon and Nahida Sultana Bristy, two graduate students whose lives were cut short in a shocking act of violence.
Zamil was initially reported missing before his remains were discovered nearly a week later. Authorities continue to work toward confirming the identity of Nahida, whose remains are also believed to have been found. As the investigation unfolds, police have taken Zamil’s roommate into custody.
Both students were originally from Bangladesh and were described as bright, hardworking, and deeply committed to their academic pursuits. They were looking forward to visiting their families this summer before continuing their studies at USF in the fall—plans that have now been tragically interrupted.
Friends, classmates, and faculty remember them not only for their dedication to education but also for their kindness and supportive presence within the international student community. Their loss has created a profound sense of grief both on campus and among those who knew them personally.
A fundraiser has been organized by Zamil’s graduate advisor in collaboration with the Bangladesh Student Association, with the consent of both families. The effort aims to assist with expenses including the repatriation of remains, transportation of personal belongings, funeral arrangements, and other financial burdens. Contributions are being managed through a U.S.-based account and will be equally distributed to both families.
As the community grieves, Zamil Ahamed Limon and Nahida Sultana Bristy are remembered for their promise, their dedication, and the lives they were building.
