Former England cricketer and coach Graham Thorpe died after being struck by a train in Surrey, an inquest has heard. The 55-year-old, who played 100 Test matches for his country, was confirmed dead last Monday, with his wife Amanda later confirming he had taken his own life.
At Surrey Coroner’s Court, Thorpe was said to have suffered “traumatic injuries” during the incident at Esher railway station.
During the hearing, the area coroner Simon Wickens recorded his cause of death as one of multiple injuries.
The coroner also offered his “sincere condolences” to Thorpe’s family, and also to “all those touched by his life and career.” He confirmed that a full inquest would take place at a later date.
