Cricket legend Graham Thorpe died from multiple injuries after being struck by a train at his local station, an inquest opening heard today. The 55-year-old died in Surrey on Sunday August 4th and was later identified by his fingerprints. Surrey Coroner Simon Wickens said a post-mortem showed that Thorpe died from multiple injuries. 'This was an unnatural cause of death of mainly traumatic injuries when Mr Thorpe was struck by a train,' said Mr Wickens.

No members of Mr Thorpe's family were present for the five-minute hearing at Surrey Coroner's Court in Woking. Opening the inquest the coroner said Mr Thorpe was a married male and professional cricketer and coach. He gave his date of birth as August 1st 1969 and said he lived in Esher with his wife Amanda, a teacher. His time of death was at around 8.30am on August 4. A finger print comparison from a sample taken from his home address was carried out by British Transport Police and allowed for identification of the body.
