The Metropolitan Police has released an appeal for information after a man died after falling down an escalator at London Waterloo Underground Staton.

Ian Airlie was found dead at his home in Greenwich on the 10th October.

Following his death, Mr Airlie’s family told police that he had been pushed down the Jubilee Line escalator at 17:05 on the 15th September.

It is believe that after his fall, Mr Airlie spoke to security at the station and told him that he had fallen into a woman with South Asian appearance, who also fell on the escalator.

Mr Airlie is also believed to have spoken with a woman on a bus which was travelling from North Greenwich underground station, who handed him a tissue as he was bleeding above his left eye.

Police are appealing to these people, as well as anyone else who saw the incident, to come forward.

At the time of the incident, Mr Airlie was wearing a black t-shirt and light grey jogging bottoms. On his back was a turquoise and grey Mountain Warehouse rucksack. He was carrying a medium, black suitcase.

“Mr Airlie’s death is tragic, and his family continue to mourn the loss of a loving son, partner, brother and uncle.

“We are determined to piece together the events, and give Mr Airlie’s family the answers they are searching for. You can assist us by coming forward with any information. However small it may seem to you, this could be the key we need to unlock the investigation.”

Detective Inspector Chris Rogers
