A STUDENT at Bath Spa University has died after contracting suspected meningitis.
The third year business and management student was rushed to hospital at the weekend and passed away suddenly.
His flatmates and people who had been in close contact with him recently have been informed.
Students at the university have been emailed, with Vice-Chancellor Prof Sue Rigby saying she is not aware of any other probable cases.
The email also said the university is “supporting” the boy’s family and friends “at this difficult and tragic time”, the BBC reports.
It added: “We will let you know if meningitis is confirmed in this case as soon as this information is available.”
Any students with fears over their health have been urged to contact their GP.
