Last Tuesday (September 30), the Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service responded to reports of a crash on Lakedale Road.
They found a man in his 20s suffering from head injuries, and he was rushed to the hospital.
The man died shortly after arriving in the hospital.
He has now been identified as Tommy Davis by friends and family.
