Young writer set computer to automatically post Facebook suicide note AFTER he had hanged himself after depression forced him to drop out of English degree

A talented writer hanged himself in his student flat after he 'fell to pieces' when illness forced him to drop out of university, an inquest heard. Tim Marcellino, 22, was found dead in his bedroom by his father while studying English literature at Manchester University. He was discovered beside an open laptop, with a lengthy suicide not displayed on the screen. Using a computer programme, he made sure it would not upload to Facebook until after his death. Despite his creative talents, he had failed to make the second term of his degree course twice, even after lecturers had given him the chance to start again. It also emerged he previously tried to kill himself with a drug overdose, referring to it as a 'dry run'. He attended one of Britain’s top private schools, came from a loving and supportive family and achieved straight A grades at A-levels. But an inquest in Manchester heard he had suffered from depression for years and found it difficult to cope.
