The family of Noah Stroud, a 21-year-old from Weston-super-Mare, have paid a heartfelt tribute after he was found dead in the woods near his hometown in May. Described as a “very sensitive, kind, and caring” young man, Noah was known for always being there for his friends. Despite his warmth, Noah struggled with long-term anxiety and had a history of self-harm and suicide attempts. His battles with mental health challenges included hospital stays, though he had previously left hospital early due to inadequate support.
