Sarah died in November last year at Chalk Farm underground station, she was only 31 years old.

As a family, we are devastated about Sarah’s untimely death.

When she was six, Sarah told her Dad that she wanted to be an artist. Most children would give up on these dreams, but Sarah did not. She lived and breathed her art, worked hard and attended Loughborough University and the Royal College of Art.

She was an internationally recognised artist and had just returned from South Korea where her work was being exhibited at the Burberry store. She was on the rise to stardom exhibiting in Berlin, South Korea, Aspen and Vancouver, and with solo shows at the internationally renowned Lisson Galleries in Los Angeles, New York and London. Sarah’s work had been exhibited across the world, and she was described as a “talented, intelligent, sincere and original artist” with her work depicting abstract nature, which Sarah always felt deeply connected to.

Sarah had incredible plans for her future. She was planning to visit her parents the following day, New York with her best friends, Africa and Beijing next year to exhibit her art.

However, no accolade given to Sarah would ever make up for how immensely proud we were of her for just being her – humble, hilarious, creative and endlessly kind.

Our Concerns

It took 2 days for Sarah to be found after she was reported missing. This was the absolute worst time for our family as we searched for Sarah.

We were heartbroken when Sarah was found on the tracks at Chalk Farm station 48 hours after she went missing. As a family, we have questions regarding the safety of TfL’s platforms and stations. We do not feel that anyone has investigated our daughter’s death properly. Our only hope for answers will be the inquest proceedings.

No family should have to lose someone in these circumstances, no parent should have to lose a child in these circumstances, and no brother should have to lose his sister in these circumstances.

The Inquest

As Sarah died in unusual circumstances, there will be an inquest into her death. This will aim to identify the medical cause of Sarah’s death and hopefully answer when, where and perhaps most importantly, how she died. If there are an lessons to be learnt, we want to make sure that they are highlighted so that no other families are affected this way.

Transport for London are a very large organisation who have their own legal representation. This process is daunting for us, as we have never had to go through anything like this before.

The first Pre-Inquest Review will be held on 11 February 2025. This is a court hearing that will deal with the next steps to ensure that the ultimate inquest is managed effectively, efficiently and openly. We need specialist legal representation in order to make the most of the opportunity to find out what happened to Sarah.

In order to fund the specialist legal representation at the inquest, we are launching this crowd justice page. We want to make sure every stone is unturned in our search for the truth about what happened to Sarah.

The little we have been told so far has been totally shocking. As a family we ask how this could have been allowed to happen at a major tube station on the London Underground.

We ask you to share this campaign with your networks. We need to raise £50,000. This may increase as the inquest progresses.

Sarah was not a statistic, she was an incredible person, a human being, and we want her death to be thoroughly investigated. If Sarah was alive, she would want to form part of a solution to this problem.

Sarah lit up every room she walked into. She was a beautiful daughter, and we cannot tell you how much she is missed.
