Under-reported suicide on the 4 train
A reader writes:
Yesterday between 5-6pm. A man reportedly jumped on the subway tracks approaching the 170 street subway station on the number 4 line in the Bronx. I was a passenger on the train when I heard a thump.The train came to a halt and a visibly panicked driver ordered everyone off the train. Within minutes the station was swarmed with EMT, FDNY and NYPD. Below the tracks I saw the body parts of the victim falling into the cherry picker of a fire engine. There were no news vans, no reports later that evening. I called the Daily News this morning and no one had heard about it. Channel 12 (Bronx) news also said they knew nothing about it and that they do not report suicides.
