Pieter SnepvangersAvon and Somerset Police has confirmed the “sudden death” of a second year Bristol Uni student.
Felix Mills, 21, died last Monday (31st January) at an address on King Street in the city centre.
Felix was an active member of the student community, taking part in multiple societies alongside his politics and international relations degree.
The cause of the student’s death remain unknown.
However Avon and Somerset Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious.
