'Fit and healthy' Bristol model and student dies after going to A&E with 'sinus infection'

A Bristol teenager died three weeks after going to A&E with what he believed were symptoms of a "sinus infection". 19-year-old Harvey Edwards moved up north from Bristol to study biochemistry at the University of Liverpool last year.

Described as a "fit and healthy person", Harvey presented himself to A&E on June 6 as he felt unwell. It is understood that the student was taking antibiotics for a sinus infection, but he went back to hospital on June 13 as his symptoms continued to worsen.

Harvey was then given an MRI scan, during which medical professionals discovered that he had a bleed on his brain. The model was told that he would need to be put in an induced coma, as doctors hoped to tackle the bleed on his brain and alleviate the pressure.
