Tributes have been paid to Phil Moyo, a third-year medical student at the University of Birmingham, following an inquest into his death.
The 22-year-old aspiring cardiovascular surgeon died by suicide one day after receiving results indicating he had failed a resit exam by a narrow margin and would be required to withdraw from his course.
An inquest confirmed that Mr. Moyo had no known previous history of mental health concerns.
Described by friends as a "ray of sunshine," Phil was remembered at a funeral attended by over one hundred mourners.
In a eulogy, his mother described him as an "incredible young man with boundless potential," stating: "His love, kindness, and maturity were a constant source of joy to us as parents."
Fellow student Kiah Wright noted that despite the pressure of his exams, Mr. Moyo’s positive nature meant friends were unaware of his struggles. "He kept it all to himself," she said. "Retrospectively, you think of conversations and wonder, 'was he trying to say something?'" - Zimbo LIVE London
