THE teenager who died in West Ealing this morning has been named by police.

Fuad Buraleh, 19, of Hayes, died after being hit over the head with what police describe as a "blunt instrument".

An investigation is underway into the circumstances of his death.

Police believe he was on his way home from a night out with a friend when he was attacked in Dean Gardens, off Uxbridge Road at around 1.20am.

Mr Buraleh's next of kin have been informed, and a post mortem is currently taking place.

Pushpa Sehgal, who works in Seba Electronics Ltd opposite the park, was stunned to hear the news of Mr Buraleh's death.

She said: "I was shocked when I heard. My husband walks across the park twice a day.

"This is a nice area to live in, and I'm very proud of it.

"It is such a shame that these things are happening to our children."
