A senior professor says no links have been found between the first four deaths, and the fifth is under review

Five students at the University of Cambridge have died as a result of suicide or suspected suicide over the past four months, prompting a rapid review by university authorities.

Prof Graham Virgo, the senior pro-vice-chancellor for education, said inquiries had found no links between the first four deaths of students who were all at different colleges. The fifth death happened since and is the subject of further review.
