Dominic Jennings, the former son-in-law of Rolling Stone Keith Richards has died after being hit by a train.
The incident came just two days after he was arrested as he faced accusations that he ‘tried to look up girls’ skirts’ in a park.
Jennings, 45, who was once married to the guitarist’s daughter Dandelion, was arrested by police two days before the tragedy.
Jennings was hit by a train and killed on the railway track of Chichester station.
The incident occurred at 7am on Wednesday, two days after he was arrested.
He was allegedly accused by locals in Bognor Regis for ‘trying to look up little girls’ skirts’ and ‘coax them away from their parents’.

His parents Cyril and Carole and his twin sister Kirsty, were reportedly too devastated to comment about the tragic series of events.
Facebook posts, which have since been deleted, read: “Old man sat watching the children for over half an hour, was then seen trying to look up little girls’ skirts and trying to coax them away from their parents and over to him.
“I confronted him, he then moved to a group of teenage girls at the other end of the park telling them how hot and sexy they were.

“Myself and a mum from the park confronted him again asking if he knew any of the children and what was he doing? He stumbled some b******* about knowing it was wrong.
“We then told him we were calling the police, he then rode off before the police arrived.”
A friend of Jennings, Robin Clapton, told The Sun: “He never, ever, ever displayed any inclination towards young children.

“If he had a problem, he would speak to one of us about it. He didn’t have those kinds of problems.”
Jennings, who was a carpenter, married Angela, the daughter of Richards and his then lover Anita Pallenberg in 1998.
Miss Richards posted on Facebook after her former husbands death, saying: “Been laying [sic] awake for hours reflecting on the last 48 hours.
‘I will not be hypocritical as my friends and family know that Dominic and myself have been separated for over 10 years and not on pleasant terms but my heart breaks for one of my closest friends Koo Violet and for my goddaughter Chay.
“We have been friends for years and we have always supported each other through everything and she has always stuck by me. Dominic was a son, brother and an uncle. My condolences go out to his family and friends.”
She added: “I wasn’t going to comment but unfortunately he has been on a downward slope for the last 15 years.
“I know his family have desperately tried to help but he hasn’t accepted it.
“It’s a shame it has come to this all over social media but he is not the man you all once knew.
“I must add I meant for his drink and drug problems.”
