Inquest ordered into Leyton teen tube death

18-year-old Felikss Stolarovs was fatally struck by a Central Line train at Barkingside Station in September last year

A Leyton teenager was fatally struck by a Central Line train at Barkingside Station in September last year, a court has heard.

Felikss Stolarovs, 18, from the Leyton Grange estate, was named at a brief pre-inquest hearing at Walthamstow Coroners Court on 6th January.

He died at Barkingside Station after being struck by a train on 30th September.

As the Romford Recorder reports, senior east London coroner Graeme Irvine ordered a post-mortem examination which gave the cause of death as multiple injuries caused by train collision.

Ordering the disclosure of a summary of Stolarovs’s GP records, alongside ambulance service records and a report by the British Transport Police, Irvine told the court the teenager’s cause of death was “unnatural”.

The circumstances that led to the train collision are not known.

A full inquest will be held on 11th August.
