A teenage girl was seen standing on a train platform moments before she died, an inquest has heard.
Jasmine Morris died when she was struck by a train at Swanley railway station last Wednesday. She was 16.
An inquest which opened earlier today at Maidstone's County Hall revealed the 16-year-old was seen on CCTV "standing on the platform, before walking into the path of a moving train".
Jasmine, of Hart Dyke Road, Swanley, was a student and was identified by her mother and British Transport Police officers.
Her provisional cause of death was given as multiple injuries.
Since the teen's death a fundraiser has been set up which has raise more than £10,000 in two days from more than 220 donors.
Among those paying tribute to Jasmine was her former teacher, Natasha Davison, who said: "I taught Jasmine in Year 6 at St Mary's CE Primary school. She was such a beautiful, kind-hearted member of the class of 2014.
"I will remember all the special memories I had with Jasmine. She will be never be forgotten."
Eleanor Wall, who set up the fundraising page, said: "Our family is heart-broken beyond words. We have lost the most precious, beautiful talented, funny, most caring and kind-hearted princess ever at just 16.
"We are setting up this page to raise money to help my sister and her family give our beautiful Jasmine the best send-off that she deserves. She was truly loved by all who knew her."
Along with the GoFundMe page, floral tributes were also left outside Swanley railway station.
One read: "Jasmine will always be in our hearts. A beautiful young girl, gone but never forgotten."
It then carried the number for the Samaritans and added: "Don't suffer in silence."

The inquest was adjourned to take place at County Hall on December 3.
