A university fresher who struggled with mental health problems hanged himself in his halls of residence after he was told to isolate amid a spike in coronavirus cases in Manchester, an inquest heard.
Finn Kitson, 19, was three weeks into a politics and international relations degree at the University of Manchester when he took his own life at halls of residence in Fallowfield in 2020.
The teenager, described by his parents as 'beautiful and brilliant', had been told to isolate after one of the seven other students in his flat contracted Covid-19 in September 2020 when virus numbers in Manchester were beginning to rise sharply following the end of the first national lockdown.
