An inquest heard Connor Marron had been visiting London for the first time before he died.
BBC London
North London Coroner's Court could not determine what happened between when Connor left his friend and the collision, as CCTV could not shed any light on the final hour of his life. Mr Marron said that BTP had told them that officers had been back to the scene to check for evidence at the track, but were later informed this had not happened.
A further visit was conducted on 24 February to take pictures which were shared with the coroner in preparation for the inquest, the review said. Mr Marron believes his son was fleeing from a mugging or some other confrontation. "To me there is no other reason," he said.Mr Marron said officers failed to check CCTV footage taken by cameras at an apartment complex near the waterway Connor crossed.
