A 22-year-old who was killed on Friday after
falling onto a live railway line as he walked home with friends,
lived life to the full, his mother has said.
Ashley Godmon was walking with three friends along the line
from Snodland when the tragedy happened.
The group had missed the last train home by two minutes. At just
before 11pm, Ashley tripped and fell on the live line. He was
killed instantly.
Dozens of flower tributes have been laid at
Snodland level crossing, near the spot where the accident
happened.
His mother, Tania Godmon, from
Snodland, said: “He lived life to the full. He enjoyed
his mates’ company and he made the most of his life. He was just a
typical boy, always coming in and saying “I’m starving mum,” and
raiding my cupboards.”
Ashley, who attended Lunsford Park primary and Aylesford School,
had recently moved to East Malling to live with his
grandmother.
He had been a member of Larkfield FC for four years and
was a keen Arsenal fan.
The incident is being investigated by British Transport Police,
who have confirmed they are not treating the death as
suspicious.
