Graham Thorpe played for England from 1993-2005.
Former England cricketer Graham Thorpe passed away on August 5 and his family had revealed that the batter had committed suicide. Now the inquest convened for his death was told that Thorpe died after being hit by a train in Surrey.
His wife Amanda and daughter Kitty previously told The Times that the 55-year-old committed suicide on August 4 after "suffering from major depression and anxiety".
Coroner Simon Wickens stated that Thorpe died as a result of "traumatic injuries" experienced when struck by a train at Esther Railway Station. Mr. Wickens stated before Surrey Coroner's Court in Woking that the medical cause of his death was "multiple injuries".
The coroner had received a referral from British Transport Police.
The force said previously: "Officers were called to Esher railway station at 8.26 am on August 4 to reports of a casualty on the tracks. Paramedics also attended, however sadly a person was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is not being treated as suspicious."
During the opening of the inquest into his death, the coroner offered his "sincere condolences" not just to Thorpe's family, but to "all those touched by his life and career". The inquest was opened and adjourned at Woking Coroners Court.
Thorpe played for England between 1993 and 2005, appearing in 100 Tests and 82 ODIs. The left-handed batsman struck 16 Test hundreds for England, including a debut century against Australia at Trent Bridge in 1993.
He played for Surrey for 17 years and moved to coaching after his playing days were over.
