A woman died from multiple injuries after being hit by a high-speed train in Barnet back in August 2016. An inquest at North London Coroner’s Court ruled the death cause as consequences of depression.
The victim, 34-year old Anne Marie Bray, had been suffering from severe depression following the death of her mother in 2015. Her GP had prescribed anti-depressant tablets along with several weeks off work just prior to her fatal accident.
Mrs. Bray was struck by the high-speed train at New Barnet station. The non-stopping train was travelling at more than 100mph, departing from Kings Cross bound for York.
The Court heard from the victim’s husband, Peter Bray, who recounted his last conversation with his wife.
The senior coroner, Andrew Walker, told her family that the tragedy was a consequence of Mrs. Bray’s illness.
Concluding that Mrs. Bray died from the consequences of depression, Coroner Andrew Walker said, “Although there is sufficient evidence for a jury to record a conclusion of suicide, it would not be safe to do so because Mrs Bray was suffering from a depressive illness.”
