The death of a "kind and funny" man who was trapped after part of a farm building collapsed is being investigated by the Health and Safety Executive.

George David Murrell, 21, died on April 30 after the collapse at John Foster & Son Farms in Upper Hayesden Lane, Tonbridge.

Six months on a coroner organised an inquest into his death today.

Senior coroner Roger Hatch heard a request for John Foster, a partner at the farm, to give evidence at the inquest.

A three-day inquest is expected to take place before a jury in June next year.

A JustGiving page set up in George's memory has raised more than £3,000.

Friends and family paid tribute to the Plumpton College graduate, saying he had an "idyllic childhood" and turned into an "amazing, genuine, kind young man".

The Health and Safety Executive told the inquest its investigation would not end until after the inquest was complete.

George's childhood rugby club, Tring, also paid tribute to him.

The former Tring School pupil played their with family for 10 years from the age of six before going to farming college.

The club said: "He was a lovely, smiley boy who grew up into a smashing young man working his way through life doing what he loved, farming.

"He was a lovely runner and a crunching tackler, who just enjoyed being one of the lads and like all good players enjoyed the after match fun and tours as much as playing."
