Student passes away due to cancer

The Boar regrets to report the death of third year physics student Wei-Sheng Zhu.

Zhu, also known as Wilson, passed away following a long fight with Leukaemia in Birmingham Hospital on February 27 2009.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nigel Thrift, said, “We all are saddened by the loss of this young life. The loss is doubly poignant as his friends and academic staff in Physics had just a few short weeks ago welcomed him back to his studies after an earlier period of treatment for Leukaemia.”
