The victim trespassed, making his way onto a platform and then into a Red Line (B Line) tunnel, where he was discovered, possibly electrocuted, LAPD says.
Authorities on Sunday, July 28, continued to piece together why a man apparently died in a Metro Red Line tunnel between Universal City and North Hollywood.
Officers were called to the 5300 block of Lankershim Boulevard, south of Chandler Boulevard, before 3 p.m. Saturday, July 27, and requested an ambulance for a man who was on the tracks and not breathing, Los Angeles police spokesman and Officer Tony Im said.
The 30-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
There was no indication that one of the electric-powered trains struck the man.
The victim trespassed, making his way onto a platform and then into a Red Line (B Line) train tunnel, where he was discovered, possibly having been electrocuted, LAPD said.
“He was in a place where he should not be,” Im said.
