Amtrak official identifies person struck and killed by train

 

 

Amtrak officials have identified the person struck and killed by a train off Depot Road Wednesday as 31-year-old Michael J. Turner of Groton.

 

Story here.

 

 

The cause and manner of Turner's death was not immediately available from the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, where the autopsy is to be conducted.

He was hit by the Acela Express; I should think they might have a clue of the cause and manner, gruesome as it probably was.  This sounds like a potential suicide too, since the person hit had some legal issues.
