However, a coroner says she was unable to conclude Amir Safi had intended to end his life.
An asylum seeker who died after being run over on a motorway slip road was "upset" that a social worker did not believe he was a child the day before, an inquest has heard.
At Derby Coroner's Court on Tuesday, coroner Susan Evans concluded Mr Safi died as a result of a road traffic collision. She said: "If we had determined Amir's claimed date of birth and he was a child... he would have been removed from the hotel." Ms Anderson added she had "no doubt" about the decision at the time, but agreed that age assessments could be wrong.
Coroner Ms Evans said she did not have reliable evidence about Mr Safi's date of birth, and recorded it as "unknown".
