A grief-stricken man in the UK 'proposed' by placing a ring on the hand of his dead girlfriend, before sharing images of their 'engagement' online.
Abigail Hall, 18, died suddenly during her first week at university.
The young woman's boyfriend, Josh Thompson, was working overseas as a tennis coach when
he heard the news of her death, flying home to Britain immediately.
The Daily Mail reported that Thompson had planned to 'pop the question' to Hall at some stage next year and was so devastated by her death that he decided to ask permission of the teen's family to propose before her funeral.
Thompson then announced the couple's engagement in a heart-warming post on Facebook, which has since been deleted, alongside an image of the diamond ring adorning his girlfriend's lifeless hand.
