A WOMAN died from multiple injuries after falling onto the platform at Reading Train Station, an inquest has heard. 

The court heard Rebecca Connelly was caught on CCTV footage appearing ‘agitated and restless’ at the station on February 21 this year ahead of her death.

The 46-year-old, known as ‘Becks’, could be seen ‘pacing’ for 10 to 15 minutes before the incident.

Opening the inquest into her death, assistant coroner Ian Wade said: “She appears to be considering matters as a serious expression, [she] seems to be agitated and restless.

“A concerned member of public engages her in conversation but after 10 minutes it appears Rebecca deliberately falls to the platform below - the fall caused her death.”

Her medical cause of death has being given as multiple injuries. The coroner has not set a date for a full inquest as he is awaiting reports from Thames Valley Police, or British Transport Police, and medical history from Ms Connelly’s GP.

Mr Wade said: “There are further investigations that need to be conducted. A death such as this in a healthy, young lady is always of extreme concern. She was a member of the fire service.

“It’s important to investigation what could been done to assist her.”
