A quantity surveyor was seen standing on the wrong side of a bridge's railings before jumping to his death, an inquest has heard.

Arthur Roberts, 51, of Croydon, died as a result of multiple injuries after plunging on to Jubilee Way, Dover, last week.

Despite the efforts of medics Mr Roberts could not be revived and died at the scene.

His inquest opened at Maidstone's Archbishop's Palace on Wednesday morning, with coroner for North West Kent Roger Hatch adjourning proceedings to July 16.
