Amanda Telfer named as woman killed by falling frame

A woman who died after being crushed when two window frames fell from a building in central London has been identified by police.

Amanda Telfer was hit by the frames of a ground-floor window in Hanover Street, Mayfair, on Thursday. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as blunt force trauma.

The Metropolitan Police said it was working with the Health and Safety Executive to establish what happened.

At the family's request, no further details about Ms Telfer are being released by police.

An inquest is due to be opened and adjourned at Westminster Coroner's Court on Wednesday morning.

Eyewitnesses said Ms Telfer was walking past the building when the frame fell on her.

One witness, who did not want to be identified, said the victim saw the frame beginning to fall but could not move out of the way in time.

A delivery driver who made the 999 call following the incident said he and 10 other people helped to lift the concrete frame off Ms Telfer.
