Controversy

Death of Mason Pendrous

In 2019 Mason Pendrous, a 19-year-old student at Canterbury University in New Zealand, was found dead at Sonoda Christchurch Campus, one of CLV's student accommodation facilities in New Zealand. Pendrous had been missing for between two and four weeks before his body was discovered in his room by another student. An independent investigation into the incident showed that CLV had failed to adequately follow processes to monitor student welfare.
