Mr Mills' death is the second student death to have been confirmed by the university in less than a week.

Professor Sarah Purdy, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Student Experience at the University of Bristol, said: “It is with great sadness that I can confirm the death of second year Politics and International Studies student Felix Mills. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this time.

“Felix was a member of several student societies and we are reaching out to his friends and class mates to offer support.

"The death of a student affects the entire University community and I ask that anyone who needs support contacts our wellbeing services who are here to help.”

Avon and Somerset Police said the 19-year-old's death was not being treated as suspicious.

The force said: “On Monday, January 31, at approximately 3.20pm, officers attended an address on King Street, Bristol following a report of the sudden death of a 19-year-old man.

“The circumstances of the death are not believed to be suspicious. Our thoughts are with his family, who have been informed.

“A report has been prepared for the coroner.”

Last week, a first-year Bristol University student died at a Clifton nightclub.

Paramedics and the police were called to the Gravity nightclub on the Clifton Triangle at around 2.14am on Tuesday, February 1 to what was described as a medical incident.
