Request for records
Dear Department of Health and Social Care,
I am requesting any records, inquest and reports concerning the death of Duangphet Phromthep, a Thai student who passed away in February 2023. I understand that the senior coroner for Leicester City and South Leicestershire, Professor Catherine Mason, recorded a conclusion of suicide on or about Oct 28.
As a journalist I believe releasing this information serves the public interest as, among other issues, there has been public and online speculation about his death.
Yours faithfully,
Jeremy Wagstaff
