A 16-year-old died saving his friend from a train at Poynton station in July 2025 after the friend climbed onto the tracks amid emotional distress and substance use.
A 16-year-old boy, Jordan Everett, died attempting to save his friend Joshua Myers, who climbed onto a railway track at Poynton station in Cheshire amid emotional distress, bullying, and alcohol use.
The incident occurred on July 3, 2025, after the pair had been at a skate park.
Jordan jumped onto the tracks to push Joshua to safety as an oncoming train approached, but both were fatally struck.
The coroner ruled Joshua’s death a misadventure, noting he was impulsive and under stress, not suicidal, and that he had been struggling with substance use and false allegations.
Jordan’s selfless act was praised, and both families expressed grief, with Joshua’s parents saying he was not seeking death and felt failed by support systems.
The inquest highlighted gaps in mental health and crisis intervention for teens.
