manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe family of a 27-year-old man who was due to study at the University of Manchester but tragically died have told of his long-term battle with mental illness - amid claims on Twitter that the university had left him in a 'hopeless situation'.
Rory Wood was sadly found dead on Tuesday after going missing on Sunday. His family believe he took the decision to end his own life.

He said that he had not made enough money to fund the costs of the move or studying in the city and described how 'everything felt impossible and unliveable'.
