A Southall dad-of-one who heard voices which "told him he was going to hell" died after being hit by a train at 100mph, an inquest has heard.
Peter Docherty was found dead at Ealing Broadway station on January 7 2015, West London Coroner's Court heard on day one of the two-day inquest today (Thursday January 5).
Mr Docherty who had schizoaffective disorder, was "thinking about jumping in front of a train" before he said on January 5 2015 that he "didn't feel safe going home" from hospital, lawyers said.
The 54-year-old was under the care of West London Mental Health Trust, at the Ravenscourt Ward.
A day later on January 6 he said he wanted to go home from hospital, the court heard, before his death shortly after 9am the following morning.
His family raised concerns about whether he should have been released from hospital.
A statement from his son Marc Docherty, which was read in court, said: "I was always close to my father from an early age.
"He gave money to Scientology and said he would work with them without pay.
"The voices were about him being evil and the things he had done - voices told him he was going to hell."
His sister, Nancy Docherty, said: "He was heavily involved in Scientology, for more than 10 years.
"He gave up his job so he could hand out newspapers for them."
The 54-year-old was hit by a train travelling at 100mph, Gary Mathias, from British Transport Police said.
