But today an inquest heard the 20-year-old was the victim of 'cancel culture' within the student body when his peers shunned him following an unreported allegation, the court heard.The student was described as the 'epitome of what is good in this world' by friends, who in June ran a marathon in a fundraising effort for a suicide prevention charity.
A joint spokesman for the university and college said: 'Oxford University and Corpus Christi College extend our deepest sympathies to Alexander's family and everyone in our community who has been saddened by his tragic death.' The college went on to describe Mr Rogers as a 'talented student' who was 'well known and liked in the college community and beyond'.
Mr Roger's family said their priority was for the culture of social ostracisation to be recognised in order to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
