A mother has paid tribute to her “fun, selfless, kind, compassionate, giving and caring” daughter after she took her own life.
Phoebe Grime from Kent was a 20-year-old second-year student at Newcastle University looking forward to a summer of surfing and putting her philosophy degree to good use in a future career.
But on June 3 last year she was found hanged in the bedroom of her student accommodation in Jesmond, Newcastle, and died two days later in the city’s Royal Victoria Infirmary. In a notebook found in her room by the police, Phoebe had expressed her love for her family and laid out her wishes for her funeral.
