The University of Manchester has apologised for a statement which ‘caused further upset’ over a student applicant who took his own life.
Rory Wood, 27, was sadly found dead on Tuesday after going missing on Sunday. His family have told the Manchester Evening News they believe he took the decision to end his own life.
In one of his last tweets, Rory, from Hereford, said that he had lost £1,000 that he had paid to the University of Manchester as a deposit ahead of starting a Master's degree in September. He said that he had not made enough money to fund the costs of the move or studying in the city and described how 'everything felt impossible and unliveable'.
