University students who found their flatmate dead at their student accommodation have given evidence at her inquest today.
Jeni Larmour was found dead on the morning of October 3, 2020, just hours after arriving in the city to begin a new chapter in her life studying urban planning and architecture. She had been inspired to take up the subject after being "deeply moved" by what she had witnessed in the slums of New Delhi during a 10-day charity trip to India.
But at around 5.30am on the morning after she arrived in Newcastle from Newtownhamilton in Northern Ireland, emergency services where called to her halls accommodation where the 18-year-old was pronounced dead. Today Today, Home office pathologist Dr Nigel Cooper ruled that Ms Larmour died from "the effects of a combination of alcohol and ketamine".
