The “courage and determination” of a young man who died after jumping into the River Thames to save a woman has been commended by a coroner.

Folajimi “Jimi” Olubunmi-Adewole, 20, was on his way home from work at a restaurant when he and another man, Joaquin Garcia, entered the water near London Bridge around midnight on April 24 last year.
