Tragic Abigail Hall, 18, had collapsed and died on Wednesday night after less than a week at university. The devastating news was broken to her boyfriend Josh Thompson while he was working as a tennis coach in Corfu.
He immediately flew home. After asking her parents for permission for the unusual gesture, he put a ring on her finger and announced online:
'Abigail Hall and I are now engaged. She is my life.'He added:
'Words cannot express the love that I have for her, she was the reason I would wake up in the morning. We connected so well, from the moment she tripped on an escalator in the Shard after one too many, to having the most hilarious sunburn after driving through France with the roof down.
Everything we did felt real, she would always be there with a smile on her face, and she could never do enough for me.'Josh said he had planned to propose to Abigail next year. Abigail, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, had only just started at Sheffield Hallam University where she was studying biomedical sciences.
She was found by friends in her flat in Sheffield on Wednesday night. Police say there are no suspicious circumstances around her death.
