Sergeant Graham Saville suffered serious injuries in the incident in Balderton, near Newark-on-Trent, on August 24.
The widow of Sergeant Graham Saville who died after being hit by a train as he attempted to save a distressed man on the tracks has paid tribute to her “wonderful” husband.
On Thursday Sgt Saville’s wife issued a short tribute through the force in which she said: “Graham was a wonderful man. He was laid back, funny, silly and adventurous – he lived life to the full.“Ultimately his desire to help others has led to him making the ultimate sacrifice. We are devastated. The outpouring of love from all those who knew him is testament to the amazing person he was.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct said it received a mandatory referral from Nottinghamshire Police after Sgt Saville’s death and is investigating how a man, unrelated to police, sustained severe burns.
