History A 19-year-old student has been admitted to hospital after being found unconscious in her room in university halls of residence. Her room-mate told the paramedics that she had recently failed her end-of-year exams and had ended a long-term relationship earlier that week. She is not known to have any medical history and took occasional painkillers for a knee injury. She was found with several empty packets of paracetamol around her. A suicide note was discovered next to her.
