A teenager whose body was found in woodland off a rural Huddersfield road had been due to pick up his A Level results on the day he died.
The body of Greenhead College student Owen Williams, 18, was found on Hollins Hey landfill site on Thursday, August 16, off Blackley Road between Ainley Top and Elland.
Greenhead College’s 2018 A Level results published by the Examiner on the day show OAW Williams sat exams in business studies, maths, economics and an extended project.
It is not currently known whether he had received his results.
They have confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
A spokesperson for the Force said: “We were called to a wooded area off Blackley Road at about 8.45pm on Thursday August 17 after receiving reports of a concern for safety.
“Officers attended and found the body of an 18-year-old male. There are no suspicious circumstances.”
Meanwhile West Yorkshire’s coroners office has opened an inquest into Owen’s death. It was adjourned to a date to be confirmed.
On Facebook, people paid tribute to Owen.
Lyn Facey said: “The poor young man. This is shocking that he and many others slipped through the net. The holes in the net are getting bigger due to the lack of services which are in short supply.”
Sarah Cookson said: “So sad for all the family and his friends.”
Jo Binns said: “This has to stop now, far too many young men taking their lives. RIP.”
