The circumstances surrounding a teenager’s death on a Nottingham university campus will be revealed as the date for an inquest has been set.
Krystian Butler was aged 18 when he died at an address on Hampden Street on Nottingham Trent University’s (NTU) City Campus on October 20, 2024.
Hampden Street is exclusively occupied by student blocks owned by NTU, according to the university’s City Campus map.
These include Byron, Hampden, Sandby and Gill Street South.
Coroner Fiona Gingell revealed during an inquest opening in February last year that Mr Butler was identified by a security officer to attending police officers.
A cause of death was not revealed during the opening but is likely to be established at the final hearing of the inquest, which will be heard by coroner Nathanael Hartley at Nottingham Coroner’s Court on Tuesday, January 13.
Coroner Gingell explained during the opening hearing that Mr Butler’s death “had an unnatural element to it” which triggered the need for an inquest.
Nottinghamshire Live contacted NTU about the matter but received no response.
