Pharmacy Student Commits Suicide After Being Wrongly Told She Failed Test
British Pharmacy Student Took Her Own Life Over False Report She Failed Test
A 21-year-old pharmacy student, Mared Foulkes, committed suicide after she was mistakenly told she failed her exam and wouldn’t be able to continue into her third year, according to the New York Post.
The British student received an email from her school, Cardiff University back in July 2020, informing her that she failed her test, per BBC. However, the email didn’t include that she passed the exam she retook. Reports added her test results were later updated, sadly, it was too late.
North West and North Wales Coroner Katie Sutherland recently ruled Foulkes’ cause of death, a suicide. The student’s parents, Glyngwyn and Iona Foulkes admitted that they were in “disbelief” by the way the university handles its students, adding it was “complicated and confusing.”

Glyngwyn and Iona Foulkes continued, “we are sad at the outcome that could and should have been so different. Now we’re left with memories, photographs, and memories of her kindness, her fine qualities, gestures, and of all that she gave to our family, her brother, and her friends. We cry easily and often, our tears are uncontrollable and exhausting when unprompted memories remind us that we are bereft.”
Coroner Katie Sutherland advised the university to implement improvements in regards to communicating efficiently with students about their grades.
The head of Cardiff’s school pharmacy, Prof Mark Gumbleton said, “we acted within the regulations, but we need to move towards a simpler system of ratifying grades.”
He continued, “the challenge is to avoid a situation where we create confusion. I believe the university is looking at this and changes are going to take place.”
