The death of an Oasis fan who fell from a height at one of the band’s Wembley concerts was a “tragic accident”, a pre-inquest review heard. Landscape gardener Lee Claydon, 45, of Bournemouth, Dorset, died following the incident at the London stadium on August 2. Barnet Coroner’s Court heard on Wednesday that the police have completed their investigation into his death.
Metropolitan Police Detective Sergeant James Raffin said the toxicology report brought up “no concerns” as Mr Claydon had drunk alcohol, but this was “normal for any of the people attending”. He confirmed that suicide had been ruled out as a possible cause of death as the Met passes its findings on to Brent Council.
He told the hearing: “From a police point of view, this is no longer a criminal prosecution. We do not suspect any third party involvement.
“This, from everything we have seen, was a tragic accident. From a police point of view, I would say our investigation is complete.”
Detective Sergeant Raffin added that Mr Claydon’s family expressed concerns over the “circumstances of the night”, which would also be passed on to officials at Brent Council.
The inquest opening heard that Mr Claydon was taken to a medical centre in Wembley following the fall, before being pronounced dead at 10.38pm.
His preliminary medical cause of death was determined to be “multiple bodily injuries” following a post-mortem.
Senior Coroner Andrew Walker said the full inquest will take place on February 26, 2026.
He said: “It looks like we are going to be in a position next February to have reports from the London Borough of Brent over the circumstances, and also we will have by then the police investigation report.”
