Albina Yevko, 14, who came to the UK from the war-torn country in 2022, was reported missing on the evening of 4 March last year and was later found unconscious on a beach in Dawlish. She was airlifted to hospital in Exeter where she died the next morning, an inquest in Exeter heard.
Network Rail owns the wall, which people use as a coastal path, and it carries out "regular inspection and repair", the inquest heard. Yesterday, Robert Warren, Network Rail's head of route safety, health and environment in the south-west, revealed seven other people died falling from the wall between 1974 and 1996.
He told the inquest that hand railings were considered following a risk assessment of the wall in 2015.
