'Inspirational' University of Exeter lecturer found dead by mum as tributes flood in

Students and staff at the University of Exeter have been left broken-hearted after the unexpected passing of a lecturer, colleague and friend, Dr Claire Dinan.

An inquest was recently opened at Plymouth Coroner's court into the death of 53-year-old Dr Dinan by assistant coroner Philip Spinney. At the brief hearing, held on April 14, he noted how Claire was born in Plymouth and resided in Dawlish.

He went on to note at the public hearing how Claire had passed away at a property in Teignmouth in Devon on April 6 this year at 3.50pm.
