A 28-year-old man had to be identified by fingerprints after throwing himself in front of a train, an inquest has heard.

Jugvinder Malhi moved out of his home in Lister Road, Kidderminster, a week before the incident following an argument with his wife, Jasbir, and his parents.

His family thought the problem had been resolved when the HSBC employee, who was taking anti-depressants, returned home seven days later, on Sunday, September 28.

However, without explanation, Mr Malhi drove his father's car to Kidderminster station the next day, walked 100 yards down the track and jumped in front of a Worcester to Birmingham train.

The pathologist later confirmed the cause of death was multiple injuries.

"He had been acting perfectly normally after he returned home and his father thought he was buying medicine when he left home at 3.40pm," said coroner Victor Round.

"However, he went straight to the station and the train driver has given us the clearest indication that he jumped intentionally.

"Of course, our sympathies go out to the driver and the family in this case."

The train was preparing to stop at Kidderminster station when Mr Malhi jumped on to the track, having left no suicide note.

"Trains take between half-a-mile and a mile to stop, depending on their speed, and even though this was slowing down there was no way anything could be done," said Mr Round.

Sitting at Worcestershire County Coroner's Court in Stourport-on-Severn, Mr Round recorded that Mr Malhi had taken his own life.
