This is the first picture of a tragic teenage student found dead on a landfill site on the day he was due to pick up his A-Level results.
Owen Williams’ body was found off a rural road in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, after police received reports of a concern for safety.
The 18-year-old is being remembered as a "reliable" and "popular" student by grief-stricken staff and students at Greenhead College.
A-level results published by the Huddersfield Daily Examiner on the day show that OAW Williams sat exams in business studies, maths, economics and an extended project.
But it is not known whether the Greenhead College student had received his results.
Police said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death after Mr Williams’ body was found in a wooded area on Hollins Hey Landfill Site last Thursday.
Greenhead College Principal Simon Lett paid tribute to Mr Williams, saying: "We are very saddened by Owen’s death and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
"During his two years at College, Owen studied Business, Economics and Maths A Levels, the Extended Project Qualification, and worked towards his Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award.
"A reliable, good-humoured and popular student, Owen will be greatly missed by Greenhead College staff and students. He was a strong team player and an enthusiastic learner who will be remembered for his wit and good humour.
"His teachers comment on his enthusiasm for studying, initiative shown in lessons, wider reading and strong numerical skills.
"Cheerful, reliable and fully engaged, Owen had made full access to all opportunities available to him.
"He will be sorely missed by all who knew him."
