As an individual who was at the incident, I wanted to contribute to this. I came across this while searching if anyone had found out who the gentlemen was.
To clear one thing, the man climbed down onto the track, turned around and let the train hit him, there was no accident, that was his intention.
I understand that people may feel sorry for him, and it is a sad thing, but let me re iterate what others have said. I like many others have had sleepless nights because of this incident, young children were traumatised by this, even the police were shaken by this. So while that thought of sorrow still lingers, again think of the train driver...nobody is paid enough to do that. They have essentially played a part in the loss of someone's life. While the man who performed this act, has left psychological damage on anyone who was witness to this. Some other poor men had to go and pick u the pieces of body that were left. This is by far the most selfish act a person can take and the way he performed this just makes it all the more worse.
This gentlemen doesn't deserve a thread or more chatter about this act. It is a sad tragedy but there should be no sympathy for him
