    Why the cover-up?
    Sounds like a suicide to me.
    Intelligence-insulting euphemisms like “tragic incident” really don’t help.

    @A Pop Fan’s Dream: Maybe the author phrased it in that such way out of respect for the family. It is no ones business but the families about what happened to their loved one. The main point that was being said in this article is that the rail services has been suspended, not to spread the gory details on what happened. Be careful about what you comment on these posts. You don’t know who is reading it, including the persons family (which is me).
