Ben Hope sadly took his own life just weeks before his 20th birthday
The friends of a 19-year-old Leeds student have shared their heartbreak after finding him dead in their flat.
Friend William Barwell said Ben was suffering an ongoing battle with anxiety. He died just weeks before his 20th birthday, on April 13. "He was not only an incredible housemate but was a beloved son, brother and inspiration to those around him," friend Harry Cowie added.Ben has been described by his friends as "charismatic, ambitious, confident" and was said to "truly loved life".
"Whether it was with his sarcasm, intellectual wit or his ability to make light of dire situations, he never failed to make people laugh and genuinely smile, and for that, we will always be eternally grateful." Ben's friends have set up an Instagram page called '3peak2speak', in a bid to raise awareness of mental health and share Ben's story. On May 6, five of Ben's housemates will be taking on the Yorkshire Three Peak challenge.
