British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses following the death of a man at East Acton London Underground station earlier this month.

A man in his twenties from the Waltham Forest area was found dead on the tracks at 11pm on Friday 19 April. He was pronounced dead at the scene and his family are being supported by specialist officers.

Additionally, high-visibility reassurance patrols are also ongoing in the area.

A man in his forties was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and has since been bailed with conditions. Later, a second man aged 33 from Wembley was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and has also been bailed.

Detectives investigating the circumstances leading up to his death are asking witnesses, or anyone else with information who is yet to speak to police, to get in touch by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 1000 of 19 April.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
