The coroner noted the perimeter wall's low height (3 feet) and the presence of a crash-protective barrier acting as a step, making it easy for individuals to gain access to the top of the wall, creating a dangerous situation.
View full coroner's concerns
In the circumstances it is my statutory duty t0 report to you (1) Access to the perimeter wall is very easy: There is the height issue (only about 3 feet) , but also the fact that inside the wall is a crashlprotective barrier for the parking of cars; which was described by the friend as used by Mr. Khan as a 'step' , up on to the wall. The concern is that any person, of almost any age, and certainly much younger than Mr Khan; could quickly and easily gain access to the top 0f the perimeter; wall for any purpose. Such access is clearly dangerous_
