rooster59 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Man crushed to death on railway line in Nakhon Ratchasima By Ratchai Orachon The Nation A Thai man in his 30s was crushed to death by a train at 2am on Saturday at the Sikhiu train station in Nakhon Ratchasima province. Pol Captain Teerapong Pinijmontri said the man appeared to have stepped out of a train at the station and walked across the railway tracks when he appears to have fallen and been crushed by an oncoming train. Police are investigating if the man, found to be carrying the Thai ID card of Buri Ram resident Butr Hanchiew, 36, had committed suicide or accidentally fainted and fallen on the tracks. Preliminary investigation showed that the man had stepped off an Ubon Ratchathani-bound train and walked across before he dropped down, as if to lie down on the ground. His body was sent to Sikhiu Hospital for autopsy and police would contact his relatives to collect the body for religious rites soon.

tifino Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Wouldn't take too long to piece the facts together he was doing a shortcut and was cut short... Reminds me the headlines, mid81... police holding up a severed hand; asking if any reader could ID him? "Do you recognize this man?" They were hoping someone would recognize his ring.

Of course it´s a terrible thing to happen regardless of the reason for it. Let´s hope the man gets peace, and his family can move on. However, Tropposurfer. Why would it be more horrible to be crushed by a train? I mean, do you know anybody that survived that have given you first hand information about the feeling? I would say it will be much more horrible to be burned alive, or freeze to death as well as die of starvation. Beeing crushed by a train sound quite painless and quick to me.

That's going to be difficult to investigate if he was traveling alone.. unless relatives come forward saying the man had personal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catoni Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Not sure why they want to do an autopsy. Cause of death appears to be run over by train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selatan Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I hope all train stations in Thailand have overhead bridges in the future to prevent the need for passengers to walk across train tracks. Hopefully have double tracking and no more level crossings too. For those who have 4 hours to kill, watch this train journey from Butterworth to KL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could reveal any underlying medical conditions for fall, (epilepsy)or use of drugs either prescribed or illicit or high levels of alcohol. Physical disabilities which may have caused fall.

mmushr00m Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Suicide by train. Where I am now, the subway system averages 1.5 "successful" attempts per month. "Successful" means they are killed by the train. All attempts averages just over 3 per month. People have jumped, lie across the tracks, gone into the tunnels, even squatted down to make sure their head gets the full impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
