BRITISH Transport Police have still not been able to identify the body of a man who was killed after being hit by a train near Coventry.
The accident occurred on Wednesday October 21 at around 12.30pm, not long after the train had pulled out of the station, near the Quarry-field Lane bridge, in Cheylesmore.
The man is thought to have climbed on to the track before being hit by the highspeed train and his identity still remains anonymous.
Ambulance crews attended the incident but despite the efforts of paramedics he was confirmed dead at the scene.
He is described as being white, around 25 to 35-years-old, of average build, with longish light brown/ginger hair and a similar coloured beard.
He was wearing a black fleece top, black jeans and a grey canvas belt.
A British Transport Police spokesman said the incident was not being treated as suspicious.
He was struck by the 11.45am Wolverhampton to London Euston Virgin train.
Anyone with information can call the BTP on 0800 40 50 40, quoting log 232 of 21/10/2009 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
