Welcome Weekend: Student Found Dead in Tyler Court Flat O
1ST OCTOBER – 31ST OCTOBER
CELEBRATING BLACK LIVES, BLACK ARTS & BLACK MINDS Full schedule of events on page 4
n 17 September a female first year student was found dead in her Tyler Court room the Sunday morning of welcome weekend. A call to emergency services was made at 8:37am, and the paramedics pronounced the woman dead at the scene. Police were called in to investigate, but are not treating it as suspicious, and the cause of death has not yet been determined. The University of Kent said in a statement to InQuire: “We can confirm the death of a female first year student at our Canterbury campus on 17 September. Police are not treating the death as suspicious. Next of kin have been informed and support is available for students and staff. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.”
InQuire’s culture editor, Molly, was a welcome helper at Tyler court that morning and recounted some of the details: “We were moving everyone in, it was a really positive and happy experience on Saturday. We arrived Sunday morning to continue helping students moving in but there were ambulances and police cars outside of Tyler Court. We were informed that there had been an incident and access to the flat in question was blocked off. We were told to move aside as the ambulance crew left the premises. Shaken students started coming out of their rooms and we had to calm them down. It was a sombre morning given how excited students usually are when they start their time at uni.”
