Student found dead in shared home with £1 coin-sized wound after spider bite

A university student with a "promising future ahead" was found dead in a shared house after being bitten by a spider several days before.

Harry Bolton, 19, who was in his second year at the University of Hull, started to feel unwell following the incident on October 3 last year, and just four days later security staff at his accommodation found him lying on his back in his bed with his eyes and mouth open.

His housemate had alerted staff after not receiving a response to a text message and when there was no reply to a knock on his door. They knocked down his door and Harry was cold to the touch and not breathing, the Mirror reports.
