Student was 'soaking and shoeless' when hit by train
The parents of a student who was found "soaked from the waist down" and without shoes after he was hit by a train in north London have said they may never know what happened.
While leaving the darts event, Mr Marron discovered his phone was lost and left his friend to find it. The inquest heard that Mr Marron may have passed through the New River - a nearby waterway - and a gap in a railway fence, before trying to cross the tracks. The officers told them "in those early exchanges" that their son had been hit by a train - but the couple say many questions remain unanswered."I had to view the footage of my son in front of a train to prove that he's not wearing footwear," he said. "I knew if I didn't take that opportunity it would be in my head for the rest of my life.
The parents do not believe their son's death was an accident or misadventure, so the open verdict was "the verdict we wanted". The report is sent to the people or organisations who are in a position to take action to reduce the risk. They then must reply within 56 days to say what action they plan to take.
