Lost Evidence. Unanswered Questions. The Death Of Ed Cornes - The Inquest/Where are we Now? : Episode 4/4

Always True Crime

About

Welcome to the final episode - for now, anyway - of this special four-part series of the UK True Crime Podcast, where I explore the life and death of 19-year-old Ed Cornes. Today, we look at the inquest into Ed’s death, the Met Police referring themselves to the IOPC over their handling of the investigation, and I ask the question: where are we today?


If you have missed the other three episodes, 19 year old Ed Cornes had only just begun the next exciting chapter of his life when, in October 2021, he arrived at University College London with ambitions of becoming a barrister. But less than 48 hours later, those ambitions were cut tragically short when paramedics were called to a hotel in King's Cross, just half a mile from his university accommodation, where they found Ed dead.


At the time of his death, Ed was in the company of two men in their fifties - strangers he had met only a few hours earlier.
