A boyfriend has proposed to his girlfriend after her sudden death and posted an image of his ring on her finger on Facebook.
Abigail Hall, 18, collapsed and died on Wednesday after less than a week at university.
Her boyfriend Josh Thompson, who was teaching tennis in Corfu, asked her parents for permission to put a ring on her finger and then announced "Abigail Hall and I are now engaged. She is my life."
Mr Thompson said: "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 and police say there are no suspicious circumstances.
Mr Thompson added: "Myself and Joshua Hall went to select an engagement ring for Abbie, the plan was to do this next year after her first year at university.
"Josh chose well and I was able to have my moment with Abbs which I was so grateful for.
"Thank you to everyone for the support you have given Abbie's family and myself. Life will never be the same again, we need to continue to support each other.
"There was no reason for Abbie to leave us. She had everything to live for. We had plans for Turkey, Dubai and then Paris for New Years Eve.
"There's no one else I would want to share my life with. I love you Panda. I will always love you baby."
Devastated friends spoke of their shock of her death on social media - and at how moved they were by Josh's gesture.
Nina Andreia said: "I'm completely lost for words, this is an example of love. So beautiful.
"This must be the most heartbreaking thing someone can go through, knowing there is nothing you can do about it.
"She would have loved that ring and it looks so beautiful on her delicate finger. Thinking of you and Abbie's family in this hard time. Stay strong."
Lucy Fendall posted: "She will absolutely love that ring Josh. She'll be with you everywhere you go right by your side."
South Yorkshire Police said: "Emergency services were called at around 7.35pm on Wednesday following the discovery of a body of an 18-year-old woman at a property in Sheffield.
"There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and officers are liaising with the coroner."
