De Montfort Students’ Union has urged any students who need support to reach out.
The union shared this statement on its website.
It says: “We are deeply saddened by the news shared by the university today. At a university like ours, our community is held together by our bonds with one another, and nothing brings that into sharper focus than when something so devastating happens.
“We know this will be unsettling for many students, and we want to reassure you that the university, the students’ union and your student voice leaders are here to support you.
“If you need support, someone to talk to, or simply reassurance, please reach out.
“You are not alone, and we are holding this together as a community.
“We will continue to work with the university and the students on the next steps and will keep you informed and supported as we process this news together.”
