A COMMUTER who died after trying to get back on to a train to get something he had left behind has been named.

David Davies, 38, of Fairlawn Avenue, Bexleyheath, got off the Charing Cross to Crayford train at Barnehurst station, at around 5pm on Friday, but realised he had left something on the train.

The train doors had already automatically closed and the train had started to move when Mr Davies tried to go back, but slipped and fell underneath the train.

It was believed to be a toy car for his son and flowers for his wife that he had gone back for.

Mr Davies was treated by ambulance staff, but died at the scene.

Barnehurst station was closed for some time while the incident was dealt with.
