Coroner James Newman told Chesterfield coroners’ court on Tuesday: “Mr Feek was identified by his fingerprints.

“We’re awaiting a full post-mortem report to establish the cause of Mr Feek’s death and a file from British Transport Police about the circumstances surrounding his death.”

There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances over his death.

Mr Newman adjourned the inquest to a date to be fixed.
