Tower fall deaths 10 hours apart
TWO men fell to their deaths from nearby tower blocks within 24 hours. Damien McCarron, 28, plunged 12 floors in the early hours of Friday, April 18 at Rahere House in Central Street.
He lived with his mother, Patricia, 54 who had died two weeks earlier.
Just 10 hours before his death, and less than half a mile from The McCarrons’ flat, Stephen Wilson, 51, died at the outside the 13-storey Emberton Court in Northampton Square.
He worked at the Children’s Society Margery Street and lived in Orpington, Kent.
Separate inquests into the two men’s deaths were opened at St Pancras Coroner’s court on Monday.
The inquest into Mrs McCarron’s death was adjourned pending further investigation.
The police are not treating the deaths as suspicious.
