Police appeal to identify Coventry train death victim

Listen to this article

British Transport Police (BTP) are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man who was killed after being struck by a train near Coventry.

The man was hit by the 10.03 London Euston to Birmingham New Street service at Berkswell, Coventry, on July 25.

The man’s death is not being treated as suspicious, but extensive enquiries, including taking fingerprints, have failed to provide any clues as to his identity.

Pc James Lynch, the officer in charge of the investigation, said: “The man who died after being struck by the train had no identification on him and his fingerprints were not on the police database.

“He is described as white, aged 30-45, with black, shoulder-length hair. He was wearing dark-coloured trousers, a red and blue top – possibly a polo shirt, white socks with green trim around the toes, heel and top of the socks, and white Nike training shoes with grey trim.

“I am appealing for anyone who recognises the description of the man or his clothing to come forward and contact British Transport Police straight away.”
