It was mainly during Wednesday evening that students gathered, says student priest Anna-Karin Ericsson, who together with curators and is available in the student union's premises to support students and the general public who mourn 18-year-old John.

- They are really sad but they find a lot of support in each other, it has been clearly seen, she says.

Many have been affected

In the school's foyer facing Drottninggatan there is a condolence book where it is possible to write a greeting in memory of John.

For the school it has been a heavy week, says Emma Sandsjö, Head of Communication at Mälardalen University.

"Both staff and students have been affected by the fact that he has disappeared and is now found," she says.
