Her family said she took her own life just three weeks into her first term. She had struggled with depression and anxiety. "Daniel James Green took his own life but the question of intent is inconclusive," she added.Īlso that month, Miranda Williams, a 19-year-old philosophy student at Bristol University, died of an overdose at her halls of residence. In her narrative conclusion, she said she could not record it as suicide.
The 18-year-old student killed himself after he broke up with a new girlfriend, an inquest into his death heard last year.Īssistant coroner Myfanwy Buckeridge said he was "a young person embracing adulthood" and had "achieved significantly" to be studying at the university. In October 2016, Bristol University fresher Daniel Green was found hanged in his room at Goldney Hall in a "very tragic death". Our student support services are available to support anyone affected." Our thoughts are with them at this very sad time. Mark Ames, director of Student Services at the university, said: "On behalf of the university, I would like to offer sincere condolences to James’s family and friends. Sadly some students will choose not to avail themselves to that support.” “It does provide the necessary support for students throughout their studies.
“The university has an open culture and anybody can raise concerns about fellow students or individuals so they can be acted upon,” Dr Harrowing added. He said staff and students could freely come forward to discuss their issues without fear of discrimination, and that he was satisfied at the level of support at the university. Referring to university documents, he said he was assured Bristol University had everything in place to prevent further deaths, including allowing students to declare if they have mental health issues before enrolment. Inquests have heard they all took their own lives.īut Dr Harrowing said their deaths were “not linked”, and decided against writing to the university to recommend other prevention strategies. James was the seventh local university student – six from Bristol University and one from University of the West of England (UWE) – to have taken their own life in a year. "We do not know if the university had identified or helped students at risk and if they did, we do not know if this was followed." “We became aware in the academic year of 2016/17 that five Bristol University students took their own lives. "James’s death was completely unexpected and was a shock to us all. They added: "At no point did he give any indication of intention to end his life. Things were looking up, and he seemed in good spirits when he spoke to his family in the days leading to his death, his parents said. He was made captain of the third snooker team and volunteered with the scouts. James went on to pass his exams and resumed his studies last September. “Between January and June we were not aware he got any further support or counselling from the student mental health service,” his parents said. This staged approach provides challenges for producing a final factsheet of figures for ROI, especially in terms of comparison of ROI suicide data over time as, at any given time, the data for different years may be at different stages.That summer, James went home to Northampton and expressed his determination to do well and resume his course.īut over Christmas, his parents were shocked to find tablets in his room, and he admitted he had been on them for a while, the inquest heard.
The number and rates from 2019 and previous years are still subject to change with the inclusion of late registrations. *Rates are age-standardised, find out more in our Using Suicide Data information here The male suicide rate was 12.9 per 100,000* compared to the female suicide rate of 3.6 per 100,000*.The overall suicide rate was 8.2 per 100,000*.The following figures are accurate as of 10 June 2022: Find out more in our Understanding UK and ROI Suicide Statistics information hereĭata from 2019 is the latest ‘official’ data released by the Central Statistics Office. Finally, the data is revised later again to include late registrations, but this can happen years later. This data is later revised to reflect year of occurrence and is considered ‘official’ at this stage. First, provisional data is released based on the year of registration. In the Republic of Ireland, data is reported in stages. Central Statistics Office (CSO) publish suicide data for ROI here.
