"Senior coroner Andrew Walker ordered a report looking into the safety of barriers at the venue, Barnet Coroner's Court heard. He said the report should review the design, height and placement of barriers on level five of the stadium, where Mr Claydon fell from."
"The coroner said the report should also contain a risk assessment of the placement of the barriers, and indicate whether any modifications have been made to the barriers since their installation, and whether safety regulations at the stadium provide a safe environment for people attending the venue."
Lee Claydon, a 45-year-old landscape gardener from Bournemouth, died after falling from height at Wembley Stadium during an Oasis concert on August 2. At a pre-inquest review, senior coroner Andrew Walker ordered a comprehensive report examining the safety of barriers at the venue. The investigation will assess the design, height, and placement of barriers on level five where the incident occurred, conduct a risk assessment of barrier placement, determine what modifications have been made since installation, and evaluate whether current safety regulations provide adequate protection for attendees. The coroner's decision followed a letter from a former Wembley employee.
