The identity of 18-year-old Felikss Stolarovs was given in a brief hearing at East London Coroner’s Court on Monday, January 6, as an inquest was opened into his death.
The teen, from the Leyton Grange estate in Waltham Forest, died at the Tube station on September 30.
The incident made headlines at the time, causing travel disruption with the suspension of the Central line.
Mr Stolarovs was pronounced dead at the scene.
The line had to be suspended between Hainault and Newbury Park while investigations took place.
Senior east London coroner Graeme Irvine told the court Mr Stolarovs’s death had been referred to him for investigation by the British Transport Police.
He ordered a post-mortem examination, which gave the cause of death as multiple injuries caused by train collision.
“It seems to me that this is an unnatural cause of death and as a consequence it is proper for me to open an inquest into this matter,” he said.
Inquests are held in open court in the public interest, to investigate how unnatural deaths occurred and whether future similar deaths might be preventable.
No information was given at the inquest as to the circumstances which led to the collision.
Mr Irvine said Mr Stolarovs’s family would be “interested persons”, a legal status which entitles them to interrogate evidence before the inquest is held and question any witnesses called to give evidence.
He ordered a summary of the deceased’s GP records be disclosed, along with ambulance service records and the police’s investigation report.
“If the deceased was being cared for by a local mental health trust, I will need statements from the responsible consultant, a copy of the electronic records and details of any governance investigation,” he said.
He adjourned the case, for a full inquest to be held on August 11.
