A coroner's inquest has opened into the death of University of Bristol student Felix Mills. The 21-year-old was found dead in his King Street accommodation on January 31.
Coroner Dr Peter Harrowing said that he is awaiting a report from the university's wellbeing team. A final post-mortem and toxicology report is also expected.
Notebooks were found inside Felix's room when he died by PC Gibson, one of the police officers who attended the scene. The inquest into his death will take place on April 27 at 2pm. It will be a read-only inquest, meaning the coroner will read from the file of evidence and no witnesses will attend.

At the time of his death, professor Sarah Purdy, the university's pro vice-chancellor for student experience, said: “It is with great sadness that I can confirm the death of second year Politics and International Studies student Felix Mills. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this time.
“Felix was a member of several student societies and we are reaching out to his friends and class mates to offer support. The death of a student affects the entire University community and I ask that anyone who needs support contacts our wellbeing services who are here to help.”
And Avon and Somerset Police said that Felix's death was not being treated as suspicious. The force said: “On Monday, January 31, at approximately 3.20pm, officers attended an address on King Street, Bristol following a report of the sudden death of a 21-year-old man.
