Pulse
Married dad-of-two Kris had been lying in wait for enemy troops before he died, Wiltshire Coroner's Court in Trowbridge heard.
Warrant Officer Benjamin Kelly, of the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment, said: "Kris wasn't moving and we couldn't find a pulse.
"We took his helmet off while trying to find a pulse but there wasn't one."
Kris, of Canterbury, Kent, was on his third Afghan tour, and is the second Gurkha killed there.
Originally from western Nepal, he fought in Bosnia, Sierra Leone and East Timor.
The home-made bomb was the first to tear through a Warrior in Afghanistan.
Coroner David Ridley recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.
