"Despite his initial anxiety about jumping into the river, Wesley Akum-Ojong leaped from a bridge into the River Thames during a celebration after finishing his exams. Witnesses noted he resurfaced briefly after jumping, yet he disappeared within minutes, raising concerns for his safety and leading to a search that spanned over an hour before he was located."
"The inquest revealed that Wesley, a 19-year-old first-year student at Brasenose College, was celebrating the end of his exams with fellow students, who engaged in a tradition known as 'trashed,' involving confetti and shaving foam. His family described him as a caring and kind individual, highlighting the profound loss felt by those close to him after this tragic incident."
