Man fatally struck by elevated train in Bronx

by Keldy Ortiz

A man was fatally hit by a train in the Bronx early Thursday, police said.

The victim was on the tracks when he was smashed by an elevated southbound 6 train at the Morris Ave.-Soundview station on Westchester Ave. in Soundview at 2:43 a.m., according to officials.

...  Police do not believe the person was a victim of a crime, officials said.

A pair of boots, believed to those of the victim, were found on (sic) two blocks away from the station on Westchester Ave. after the incident.


Let's try to understand what NYPD says happened.

Man decides to remove boots.

Then he decides to "go for a walk" on elevated tracks.

What NYPD has ruled out: This man was crime a victim and his killer(s) stole the boots but soon discarded them. Thanks to the lack of surveillance cameras there is no record of what actually happened.
