THE mother of a teenage girl who died on a railway line five weeks ago has been found dead on the same stretch of track, police sources said.

Joanne Coombs, 40, was found dead at Manningtree, Essex, last night. Her daughter Natasha was found dead near the same spot in August, days after disappearing.

Police would only say officially on Wednesday that there had been a death. They would not confirm the identity of the dead person.
