Romello McCook's parents said they were "ignored" in the British Transport Police investigationThe Independent Office for Police Conduct review follows criticism of investigations into the death of Romello McCook, 22, in Plymouth.

A few hours later he went to a shared students' house in Belgrave Road and at about 10:00 BST he was seen by a train driver walking along the rail track at Laira, said a BTP report into his death. But the family raised concerns about what they felt were gaps in the investigation and Thames Valley Police's major crime review team took another look.

"What caused Romello to be at this spot, some miles from his address and walking in the wrong direction appears never to have been considered by the initial investigation," said the report. The TVP report also said there had been a "lack of communication" by BTP with the family who were not contacted from 3 October to 10 November when they called BTP.

BTP said in a statement that "every single death on the railway is a tragedy and our sympathies remain with Mr and Mrs McCook on the untimely death of their son".
