Person    | Male  Born 21/2/1954  Died 5/10/1999

A statistician, killed in the Ladbroke Grove rail disaster, aged 45.

Andrew Behan has kindly carried out further research: Shaun Donoghue was born on 21 February 1954. He was a statistician from Tanner's Hill, New Cross, south London. He was a former lecturer in The School of Chemical and Life Sciences at Greenwich University, and switched to a part-time position in order to finish his MSc in applied statistics. He was aboard the 8.06am Thames Trains Turbo train from Paddington to Bedwyn, Wiltshire, travelling to Slough, Berkshire, on his way to work at The National Foundation for Educational Research, a job he had started just one week earlier and died, aged 45 years, on 5 October 1999, in the Ladbroke Grove rail disaster. The subsequent inquest was told his cause of death was multiple injuries and that he was identified by comparing his likeness to a photograph bearing his name and a scar on his knee.
