THE family of man who died on the railway line questioned why he was there in the first place.

An inquest was held on Wednesday at North London's Coroner’s court in Barnet looking into the death of Lauris Kodors, 32, who lived in Russell Road, Northolt.

He was last seen at his home on April 11 and his body was found on the railway line in a tunnel near Harrow and Sudbury Hill on April 13.

Coroner Andrew Walker ruled he died from multiple injuries, caused by a collision with a train running between Oxford and Marylebone station on April 11.

Mr Kodors’ first lived with his sister, Daina Aurelija, when they both moved from Latvia to London in 2011.

During the inquest, Ms Aurelija was concerned over how her brother died, as his disappearance was ‘out of character’.

She questioned whether he could have been attacked or forced into the tunnel.

"A lot of this does not make sense," she said.

"Do you [the coroner] believe someone did this to him?"

However, Coroner Andrew Walker read the pathologist's report, where it stated there was no evidence to show interference from another person.

He said: "A report from a pathologist on April 14, said there was no reason to believe the injuries Mr Kodors sustained were form anything but the train collision.

"There is nothing to suggest that he intended to bring his life to an end."

Ms Aurelija also asked whether any drag marks or any signs of an assault was around the area when police searched on April 12.

It was confirmed by officers there was nothing to suggest an assault or attack.

Terry Hancock of the British Transport Police (BTP), who was involved in the investigation, said officers had to wait for trains to stop running before safely looking for Mr Kodors.

He said: "A train driver travelling through the tunnel on April 12, was not aware of anything but told by two passengers that the windows were shattered, and a small amount of blood was found on the train windows, likely to be that of Mr Kodors.

"There is fencing quite high on either side of the railway lines and an electrical box unit, where Mr Kodors could have gained access to the railway and then the tunnel."

Police also found a jacket in the tunnel, which belonged to Mr Kodors, and a grey card in the pocket that included his name and address, as well as his sister's contact information.

Mr Andrew also questioned Martin Comey, an operations manager with Network Rail, asking him why all trains were not immediately stopped when BTP were called to investigate.

Mr Comey said: “It was reported that it was safe to run the train, because the driver had said there person spotted on the rail would not move.

“It is a question of intent. When we receive reports like this, we have to balance everyone’s needs, the needs of our passengers, their safety, and people involved in train collisions.

“On this occasion, the driver should probably have stopped the train.”

Reading out his verdict, Mr Walker stated he believed the death was not caused by other people or was an act of suicide.

He said: “The pathologist said his injuries lead to an almost instant loss of life, and in my view it is more likely than not, that Mr Kodors was fatally injured on April 11 2016, when the 10.10am train was travelling through Harrow tunnel.

“The cause of death was multiple injuries, due to a railway collision. It is unlikely that the railway issues were a contributing factor to Mr Kodors death, this time.

“There were no injuries consisted with third party involvement and no evidence of self-inflicted injuries.”
