A university has been slammed for multiple “missed opportunities and failures” in responding to a student’s cries for help, weeks before he took his own life during lockdown.
Harry Armstrong Evans, 21, a third year physics and astrophysics student at the University of Exeter, died in June 2021 from asphyxiation at his home in Launceston, Cornwall.
He had failed some of his exams and was struggling with isolation during the Covid-19 lockdown, an inquest heard.
