Former England cricket star Graham Thorpe tragically died earlier this month after being hit by a train, now a coroner has confirmed he suffered 'traumatic injuries'
Former England cricket star Graham Thorpe died after being struck by a train and had to be indentified by fingerprints, an inquest has heard.
A statement from British Transport Police, released on Monday 5 August, read: “Officers were called to Esher railway station at 8.26am on 4 August to reports of a casualty on the tracks. Graham was considered one of the finest ever batters having amassed a total of 6,744 runs and 16 centuries across 100 Test matches for England, while also notching up 21,000 runs during a 17-year county career.
She said: “Graham was renowned as someone who was very mentally strong on the field and he was in good physical health,” she said. “But mental illness is a real disease and can affect anyone. Despite having a wife and two daughters whom he loved and who loved him, he did not get better.
