In a press release to the Swindon Advertiser, Kelly’s father, John Stooke, confirmed the loss of life of his daughter: “We are completely and utterly bereft to lose such a vibrant, attractive, courageous and well-loved family member at such a very young age. Whilst the circumstances are not at all clear, this may well have been, in the end, an unintended and tragic accident.” The household additionally handed on their ideas to the practice driver concerned within the incident.
A British Transport Police spokesman defined: “At 2.14pm on Friday 26 April officers were called to the railway close to Swindon station after reports of a casualty on the tracks. Paramedics also attended; however, a woman was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Her family have been informed. This incident is not currently being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
