Google co-mentor drowns in pool
Rajeev Motwani, the 47-year-old Indian American computer science professor at Stanford University who mentored Google’s co-founders when they were graduate students, has died from a freak drowning accident at his Atherton, California home.
Born March 26, 1962, in Jammu, Motwani grew up in New Delhi, earned a computer science degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur in 1983, and his doctorate from the University of California-Berkeley in 1988.
He apparently drowned on Friday morning in a backyard swimming pool at the home he purchased three years ago, according to the San Jose Mercury News, a Silicon Valley news outlet. Friends said he did not know how to swim but was planning to take lessons.
