An inquest opening in Maidstone heard how Frazer, of Rowan Tree Road, was found at the site at around 5.15am.

His cause of death was given as multiple injuries.

Assitant coroner Alan Blunsdon told the court how the young man was found on the pavement near the stairs of the car park last week.

The hearing was adjourned to be heard in full at a later date yet to be confirmed.

Following the news of his death, friends and family took to social media to express how much Frazer would be missed, while a GoFundMe page has been set up to help his family cover funeral costs.

“Words aren’t quite enough to express my love for you Frazer Allan," said sister Paige.

“I am so lucky to have you as my big brother. Always putting a smile on my face.”

Among those paying tribute was Anna-Marie Salter, who said Frazer would have turned 31 later this month.

“Frasey A,” she wrote. “The funniest kid you’d know, but yet so soft inside & caring. A close friend of mine since a very young age.

“Grown up together, laughed together, cried together, raved together, ate the largest of pizzas & your favourite Havet together, the 3rd wheel of yours & CJ’s relationship. Literally the best boy mate I had growing up.”

Floral tributes were left at Tunbridge Wells railway station, close to where Frazer found.

The fundraising page, which can be found here, was set up by Lucy Rust and also recalled Frazer as “the life and soul of the party.”

A statement on the page said: “He made everyone smile and laugh every single day. Everyone that knew Frazer will know how amazing he was.

“Let’s give Frazer the most beautiful and special send off that he deserves.”
