Overview

• Assistant Coroner Victoria Webb at Croydon Coroner’s Court delivered a verdict of accidental death after reviewing witness statements and medical and forensic evidence.
• Post-mortem examination was constrained by embalming and organ retrieval, but investigators found no evidence of third-party involvement.
• Pathologist Dr Hiam Ali identified extensive skull fractures, fractured ribs and severe bruising consistent with a fall from height as the cause of death.
• Roberts donated five of his organs after he died in an Amsterdam hospital on May 14, 2024, one day after falling from a first-floor window.
• Friends and supporters raised almost £17,000 to cover repatriation costs after the family lacked travel insurance; the coroner said the inquest could be reopened if further evidence emerges.
