Henry Maurice John Petty-Fitzmaurice, the Earl Of Kerry, died after falling in front of a tube train.
The driver of the tube train said that he saw a man raise his arms above his head and dive in front of the train as it entered the station. He said, 'I saw a man standing on the platform near the edge. He dived in front of my train as I entered the station, He put his hands above his head and dived in front of the train'. It was noted that the train driver was the only person that had seen Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice go in front of the train. He had also said that by the time he saw it, it was impossible for him to have pulled up.
