A man in his 50s died after being struck by a train at South Croydon on Sunday morning (April 14).
Note: This article has been amended. Initially London Ambulance Service (LAS) said the victim was a woman in her 30s. Information from the British Transport Police appeared to confirm this. Then an LAS press officer contacted the Advertiser and said they were mistaken and the victim was a boy, believed to be 17. They have since said that was also a mistake and that the person killed was a woman in her late 20s.
