Lee Claydon, 45, from Bournemouth, Dorset, died following the incident at London’s iconic stadium on August 2.
The death of an Oasis fan who fell from a height during one of the band’s Wembley concerts has been described as a “tragic accident,” a pre-inquest hearing at Barnet Coroner’s Court has heard.
Lee Claydon, 45, from Bournemouth, Dorset, died following the incident at London’s iconic stadium on August 2.
Detective Sergeant James Raffin of the Metropolitan Police confirmed that their investigation into Mr Claydon’s death is now complete. He told the hearing: “From a police point of view, this is no longer a criminal prosecution. We do not suspect any third-party involvement. From everything we have seen, this was a tragic accident.”
DS Raffin also confirmed that toxicology reports raised no concerns. He said Mr Claydon had consumed alcohol on the night, which was “expected” for concert-goers, and added that the possibility of suicide had been ruled out. Any remaining questions from the family about the circumstances will be passed on to Brent Council.
Senior Coroner Andrew Walker said the full inquest is scheduled for February 26 next year. He explained: “By next February, we expect to have reports from the London Borough of Brent regarding the circumstances, alongside the police investigation report.”
The Oasis fan was taken to a medical centre at Wembley following the fall and was pronounced dead at 10.38pm on the night. A post-mortem examination on August 6 gave the preliminary cause of death as “multiple bodily injuries.”
The fall occurred during Oasis’s sell-out Live ‘25 reunion tour, their first since splitting in 2009.
The band released a statement following the incident, saying: “We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
Wembley Stadium, one of London’s most famous music and sporting venues, continues to review safety protocols to prevent similar tragedies.
