An investigation has been launched after the death of a woman who was hit by a train last Monday.

The woman, who was found dead on the Thameslink line near St Albans Road, Sandridge has been identified as Jeannette De La Harpe, 56, of Reims in France.

The cause of death is being treated as multiple traumatic injuries, but this will be determined at a later inquest.

Officers from British Transport Police (BTP) were called to the railway line just after 6.45am on September 29.

Herts Police and the ambulance service also attended, with paramedics pronouncing the woman dead at the scene.

Her death is not being treated as suspicious and her family have been contacted.
