An inquest into the death of Lee Claydon, a 45-year-old Oasis fan, revealed today that the police investigation into the incident is now complete. Claydon died on August 2 after suffering injuries consistent with a fall at Wembley Stadium during the band's Live '25 reunion tour concert. The landscape gardener from Bournemouth was attending the sold-out event with his brother and two children when the tragedy occurred. Witnesses reported that he fell from the upper tier of the stadium as the concert was concluding. At Barnet Coroner’s Court, Detective Sergeant James Raffin from the Metropolitan Police stated, "From a police point of view, this is no longer a criminal prosecution. We do not suspect any third party involvement. This, from everything we have seen, was a tragic accident." Raffin confirmed that a toxicology report showed no concerns regarding Claydon's alcohol consumption, which he described as "expected" for concert-goers. He acknowledged that the family had raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding the fall and indicated that he would relay these to Brent Council. The police have ruled out suicide and will submit their findings to the local authority for further review. Senior Coroner Andrew Walker announced that a full inquest is scheduled for February 26 next year. Oasis expressed their condolences in a statement, saying they were "shocked and saddened" by the news of Claydon's death. The initial inquest was opened on September 10, where it was revealed that Claydon was pronounced dead at a medical centre in Wembley shortly after the fall. A post-mortem examination indicated the cause of death as "multiple bodily injuries." Detective Inspector Aimee-Leigh Sando noted that the investigation included reviewing CCTV footage and gathering statements from witnesses present during the incident. Clive Claydon, Lee's father, suggested that his son slipped on spilled beer, stating, "There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell. I've been told that it was an accident waiting to happen." He insisted that his son was not drunk at the time of the fall. In a heartfelt tribute, Lee's girlfriend Amanda expressed her grief on social media, saying, "I don’t have many words right now… but it’s just not fair, and it’s not right that you’re not here with us. But I will never stop loving you!" The investigation into the circumstances of Lee Claydon's death continues as the community mourns the loss of a devoted father and fan.
