I would love to see what drove him to it.
Must have been a hell of a shock for the train driver too. My thoughts are also with him at what must be a very difficult time. I knew someone who's father worked on the trains in NYC and had that happen to him just before retirement when he was driving the train and it really affected him.
Saw that, really shocked. Really got to think about what happens off the pitch, left behind a wife and an adopted child I believe.
