Young man told his mum 'I love you' seconds before being hit by train

Just seconds before a 23-year-old man died after being struck by a train, he told his mum he loved her, an inquest has heard. Aaron James Aldom, from Chester, died on a railway line in Flintshire, North Wales on April 17, 2022.

During the inquest into Mr Aldom's death, which took place at Ruthin County Hall in Denbighshire on Tuesday, Mr Aldom's mother, Michelle Aldom, recalled her son's tragic last message to her, as reported by NorthWalesLive.

She said she had called her son on the afternoon of April 17 as she'd noticed he'd been in a "low mood" when he had left the house earlier that day and he told her that he'd been having problems with his girlfriend. But he'd sounded "calm," she said.
