Campus death inquest opened

An inquest has been opened and adjourned into the death of a Staffordshire University student.

Alex Doji, who was 18 and from Cambridgeshire, died after attending a student party.

The hearing in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday heard that a post-mortem examination had been carried out but the cause of death remained uncertain.

Staffordshire Police are continuing to assist with investigations into the death but have said they are not treating the circumstances as suspicious.

Shocked by death

Mr Doji was taken to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire after the party at the University's Stoke-on-Trent campus on 30 November.

He died in the early hours of the following day.

Staffordshire University has said that students and staff have been shocked by Mr Doji's death.

The first year business studies student was described as conscientious with a lovely personality.

The university is carrying out its own inquiries into Mr Doji's death and is offering counselling for those students who need it.
