Diary Sow, 20, a Senagalese woman hailed as a 'best student' star in her native country and who is studying at a prestigious school in France, whose disappearance in January led prosecutors to open an investigation, has apologised for causing concern after taking what she called 'a welcome respite from my life'.
The 22-year-old, studying at university in the south-east city of Lyon, posted a message about his dire financial problems on Facebook shortly before setting himself alight in front of a student canteen when he sustained 90% burns.
Simon Gautier, who was studying art history in Rome, was last heard alerting emergency services in a call in which he said he had suffered a fall while trekking a remote area near Naples and had broken both legs.
