University student with the 'happiest soul' killed after tragic fall from building

A 21-year-old university student described as the 'happiest soul' has tragically died after falling from a building. Leesha Agarwal, who was a third year student at Lancaster University, was due to celebrate her 22nd birthday in just a few weeks time before her sudden death.

The 'promising' psychology student died on the afternoon of Sunday, April 2 after falling from the third floor of a building in St John's Mews in Lancaster city centre. Leesha was a member of the university's Cartmel College and her death has since been described by the university as 'a terrible shock and dreadful loss'.

Tributes have since been paid to Leesha with her friends and fellow student speaking of their sadness in an online book of condolence opened by the university. Padraic Monaghan, Professor of Cognition in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University, described Leesha as a "wonderful student", reports LancsLive.
