Leicestershire Police 'deeply saddened' by Gordon Fraser's death

Leicestershire Police Authority and Leicestershire Police are deeply shocked and saddened by the death of Assistant Chief Constable Gordon Fraser and our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Mr Fraser died following an incident shortly after midday on Friday October 19, when he was struck by a train on a railway line in Aston Magna, Moreton-in-the-Marsh, Gloucestershire.

Mr Fraser had been suspended from duty since December 2010, pending an investigation being carried out by Merseyside Police.

Mr Fraser was also due to appear at court in St Albans on Monday October 22 in connection with a separate allegation of perverting the course of justice, which is being investigated by Hertfordshire Constabulary.
