He added that Miss Christodoulou - who was only wearing thin clothing in the freezing conditions - died of hypothermia in the early hours of January 4.

Giving evidence at the inquest, Mr Lloyd-Butler, from Harlescott, Shrewsbury, who met Miss Christodolou three months previously, denied he had left his friend to die.

He told the hearing he had returned to the school the next day after receiving a worried phone call from Miss Christodoulou's mother but said he couldn't find her.

Mr Lloyd-Butler added: "I wouldn't just leave her there.

"[B]I went over the fence and then told her to stay and wait and I would come back.

"I went back because her mum had telephoned asking where she was.


Basically as TS said he went out and passed out, as I doubt when he said he would come back he meant the next day, terrible tragedy.
