INVESTIGATIONS are continuing into the death of a teenager at a railway crossing.

British Transport Police (BTP) said this week that inquiries were ongoing into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Sixteen-year-old Aidan Mazurke died after being struck by a train at Kildwick shortly before 11pm on Monday, October 16.

BTP officers and paramedics attended and Aidan was pronounced dead at the scene.

"We are still looking into what led him to be on the line but the incident is not being treated as suspicious," said a BTP spokesman.

"A file will be prepared for the coroner."

North Yorkshire coroner's office confirmed it was awaiting a police report before an inquest is arranged into Aidan's death.

Meanwhile, heartfelt tributes to the youngster have continued to pour in.

Distraught bosses at Keighley College, where Aidan had begun a fabrication and welding course, said everyone at the Bradford Road campus was devastated.

"All our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with Aidan's family and friends," said curriculum and operations director, Heather Whitehead.

"Aidan had made a great start on his course and showed tremendous potential.

"Staff and students are devastated by this tragedy and the college will be supporting them through this difficult time."

Last week, Aidan's family issued a tribute to their "loving son, brother and grandson".

In a statement, they said: "Our lives changed forever when we lost Aidan."

And South Craven School at Cross Hills, where the youngster was a former pupil, said his death was a "tragic loss".

Support and counselling is being offered to fellow pupils and staff, plus Aidan's ex-schoolmates.

Deputy head Jo Daly said everybody had been shocked and saddened.

"We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family," she added.

People also left messages of condolence on the Keighley News Facebook site.

One of them, Tracy Smith, who has a daughter attending South Craven School, said she was so sorry for such a tragic loss of a young man's life.

She added: "My sincerest condolences go out to his family, loved ones and friends at South Craven. I cannot begin to understand the pain of losing a child and hope I never will."
