A Slough boy died after falling off an e-scooter, an inquest has heard. 

Mason Pitt, aged 18, died at Wexham Park Hospital on June 11, 2022, following an incident riding an e-scooter. 

His identity was confirmed by a police officer. 

A post-mortem carried out following his death revealed Mason died of neck trauma. 

Opening an inquest into his death on Wednesday, August 2, senior Berkshire coroner Heidi Connor paid her ‘sincere and heartfelt condolences’ to Mason’s family and friends. 

The inquest was adjourned to allow time for Reading Coroner’s Court to gather evidence into the circumstances behind the 18-year-old’s death.

A date has not been set for when the inquest will resume.
