His body, believed to be between the ages of 15 and 18, was discovered by a member of the public on December 14, 2020, between Mortlake and North Sheen stations.
He experienced “major injuries” to his head, neck, chest and torso from “contact with a moving train and a fall from height such as an overflying aircraft.” According to an inquest held at West London Coroners Court, despite “sterling efforts” by both the British Transport Police and the National Crime Agency, they were unable to contact the boy’s relatives.
