A 22-year old man, Josh Thompson, has got engaged to his girlfriend after she died suddenly and uploaded the picture of the engagement ring on her finger to Facebook, Daily Mail reported.
Abigail Hall, 18, was said to have collapsed and died in her apartment a week after gaining admission into the university, in an incident police say is not suspicious.
Abigail, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England had only just started at Sheffield Hallam University where she was studying biomedical sciences. She was found by friends in her flat in Sheffield on Wednesday night.
Grief-stricken Thompson, who was serving as a tennis coach in Corfu, Greece, was sad to have flown home immediately he heard the news and sought her parents’ consent before engaging her.
‘Abigail Hall and I are now engaged. She is my life,’ he wrote on Facebook.
Thompson added, ‘we connected so well, from the moment she tripped on an escalator in the Shard after one too many, to having the most hilarious sunburn after driving through France with the roof down.
‘Everything we did felt real, she would always be there with a smile on her face, and she could never do enough for me.’
He said he planned to propose to her next year
Thompson, who said he had planned to propose to her next year, stated: ‘Yesterday myself and Joshua Hall went to select an engagement ring for Abbie, the plan was to do this next year after her first year at University.
‘Josh chose well and I was able to have my moment with Abbs which I was so grateful for.
South Yorkshire Police said: ‘Emergency services were called at around 7.35pm on Wednesday following the discovery of a body of an 18-year-old woman at a property in Shoreham Street, Sheffield.
‘There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and officers are liaising with the coroner.’
