Student found dead in shared home with £1 coin-sized wound after spider bite

A university student with a "promising future ahead" was found dead in a shared house after being bitten by a spider several days before.

An inquest heard that paramedics checking Harry over following the discovery noticed a £1 coin-sized gaping wound on his back that appeared to be infected. They confirmed he was not breathing and there was no heartbeat and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Ben Rayer, an A&E consultant at Hull Royal Infirmary, told the court this was not something that would be flagged up by the labs as a matter of immediate risk and at 1.01am, on October 4, Harry decided to self-discharge.

He said it initially started off "hurting a bit", but over a few days it was so bad that he could not move his neck and he went to A&E were he was told to take some paracetamol. After Harry's death, pest control was called for the peace of mind of the tenants and a survey was carried out. Sticky traps were laid out and it was found that there was a normal number of insects in the house given the time of the year.
