'His head flew off': Witness tells of horrific moment man in his 20s was 'decapitated' on
theGatwick Express after looking out of the window and being hit by an oncoming train

An onlooker said: 'He lifted his head out and basically he didn't notice that the train was coming, so all you see is basically a head gone.

'The head flew off basically. I actually ran because it was disgusting but all I saw was a head (that) flew away.
'People screamed, the train stopped and people were screaming and they were coming out.

A man who died on the Gatwick Express was found by another passenger with a "massive trauma" to his head, an inquest has heard.

Simon Brown, 24, from East Grinstead, West Sussex, hit his head on a signal gantry on 7 August.

The hearing in London was told that passenger Kirstin Duffield heard a "loud thud".In a statement read by the coroner, she said she found Mr Brown with an injury that was "not survivable".
