A talented Cambridge University maths student took his own life having been "unable to cope" with his undiagnosed chronic pain, an inquest heard.
Alexander Horner, 23, died on 9 May at Eastbourne in East Sussex - one of six students to die by suicide or suspected suicide at the university this year.
An inquest heard the Trinity College student had long-term abdominal pain.
His parents said: "The chronic and increasingly intense physical pain was too much for him to take."
In a statement, his parents told the inquest at Peterborough Town Hall that their son was "studious" and had scored the highest possible grades in school.
He also spoke Chinese and Japanese and enjoyed watching football and basketball, but they said he "had numerous medical problems that clearly directly led to what he eventually did".
