  • Mason Drake Pendrous (2000–2019) was a New Zealand student who died at a hall of residence owned by Campus Living Villages whilst studying at the University of Canterbury. His death raised concerns about the welfare of young students staying at student accommodation in New Zealand after his body laid undiscovered in his room for between two and four weeks, although the exact timeframe remains unclear. Pendrous' death made headlines in New Zealand and garnered international media attention, resulting in a number of investigations including by police, and a response from the New Zealand education minister ultimately leading to law reform. The incident also prompted other universities to review the pastoral care at their halls of residence, and prompted discussion about the decline in the quality of care provided by companies managing student accommodation. Investigations into the incident were unable to determine a cause of death. An independent investigation conducted on behalf of the University of Canterbury found that Campus Living Villages had failed to adequately follow processes to monitor student welfare. Coroner Sue Johnson, who handled the case, concluded that there was no evidence to show Pendrous' death was avoidable, and was likely due to natural causes. In 2020, a cherry tree was dedicated to the memory of Pendrous in the surrounding gardens of the historic Ilam homestead. In 2021, Campus Living Villages sold their property assets in Christchurch to Cedar Pacific, with management of the properties handed to UniLodge in October that year. (en)
