Sean

In the news:

Sean Slootweg, 21, an engineering student from Northampton, was found at the Swansea digs on 6 March.

His father Paul, said it was not known whether Sean, diagnosed with epilepsy at 18, had had a seizure as post-mortem tests were inconclusive.

Police have not been treating the death as suspicious.

Mr Slootweg, 46, said he did not want to lay any blame for the death but said his son may have been found earlier had others been made "more aware".

"We still don't know when or how and, of course, we will never know why. There may be answers at the inquest in a couple of months' time.

"The hardest part is that we have the four-day gap when nobody appears to have any contact with him."

Dr Hans Sienz, programme director for aerospace engineering, at Swansea University, said: "We were extremely shocked and saddened to hear of Sean's death and we extend our most sincere sympathy to his family and friends.

"Sean was a good and enthusiastic student reading aerospace engineering and aiming for a high class honours degree. He will be greatly missed."
