A student has been found dead after he paid £1,000 to a university but was unable to afford living expenses. Rory Wood, from Hereford, England, recently posted a series of troubling tweets about his future in education.
The 26-year-old's cause of death has not been confirmed, but a friend claimed in a viral tweet that Rory had taken his own life because of the "hopelessness of his situation", referencing his inability to afford university.
The young man's family added that Rory had lost "his battle with his brain" but hoped that continuing to break the taboo surrounding mental illness would be his lasting legacy, according to the Mirror.
