An "exceptional" Cambridge University student who did “exceptionally well in her first year” took her own life in her college room, an inquest has heard.
Erin Cresswell, of Gateshead, was reading natural sciences at Jesus College and “came in the top 15%”, a coroner said, but she had struggled with her mental health for years.
Her parents, Kevin and Heather Cresswell, wiped tears from their eyes at Thursday’s hearing in Peterborough.
