    Just on my daily walk a couple of hours ago. I walk along a road that crosses a train line. Pretty quiet street normally. As I crossed, I could see a train had stopped and some commotion near the middle of the train. So I walked down a path alongside the train line.

    To my horror I could see a person, obviously dead, under the train. Shockingly violent way to go and extremely confronting. Have seen a few dead bodies before, but never in such extreme circumstances.

    • not a good start to the day to say the leastfadein11
    • Sadly it's a common way to suicide... its very possible...pango
    • Nothing on the news other than a train disruption. So probably suicide sadly.BusterBoy
    • Obviously terrible for the family, but think about the poor train driver and emergency services.BusterBoy
    • And the clean up crew...pango
    • A friend used to work on high-speed train maintenance and would often tell of finding bits of gore waaay back from the front, detrital remnants of death.detritus
    • An efficient and generally guaranteeable manner of death, but an absolute cunt for all the poor bastards who have to witness it, suffer its delays or clean up.detritus
    • Whenever it happens in London and the cause is announced over the tannoy the response is rarely sympathetic, more 'fucking selfish cunt'.detritus
    • Dumb slag who was on the train posts on Twitter she was annoyed at being kept on the train so long. Fucken idiot.BusterBoy
    • Just saw a guy in a bio hazard suit from the cleanup crew. Very confronting.BusterBoy
    • Sorry — I agree with her. The cunt who killed themself under a train traumatised a driver and inconvenienced hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people.detritus
    • Mental illness can make it very difficult to be considerate of other peoples convenienceGnash
    • Sure. Still no sympathy.detritus
    • @gnash - precisely - like someone ready to be chopped into little pieces gives a shit about commuters lol - oh det - silly comments.fadein11
    • I couldn't give a fuck if you think my responses 'silly'.detritus
    • Indeed, I'm bemused you find such actions in any way at all forgivable. Frankly, I think it's selfishness bordering on evil...detritus
    • ...and I'm first in line in any argument to defend one's right to suicide.detritus
    • These people aren't choosing suicide. They don't have the kind of control over their actions to consider it a rational decision.Gnash
    • These types of suicide are rarely the hollywood, drama queens we're used to seeing in fiction.Gnash
    • They're often on a cocktail of anti-depressants, anti-covulsants, anti-anxiety drugs... they live in a haze of depression and often fear.Gnash
    • driven by forces often out of their control. no one chooses to die this way.Gnash
    • Sure, I've known a few suicides and have no objection to their wanting to duck out. However <this sort of shit is a mind-level beyond with no logic..detritus
    • ..beyond selfishness, vindictive imposition or pathetic ultimate attention-seeking. It's akin to murder in my mind, but worse—with no option for responsibilitydetritus
    • Also, it's one of the more cowardly forms of suicide - as I say, i appreciate its general effectivity, I just don't respect those who choose it.detritus
    • And people do choose. I think, down that avenue, it's the single-only mote of control and ownership left in their lives. I think that's why it angers me so.detritus
    • lol - we got another one ere :)fadein11
    • if you ever jump in front of my train - I won't hate you I promise.fadein11
    • My walk home crosses the main North/South East Coast line, with Virgin trains speeding past. It would be so easy. So fucking easy. Done. ...detritus
    • but such a murderous infliction upon the poor bastard who has to see it happen in front of him; to the people who have to deal with consequence.detritus
    • The world needs

      detritus
    • or just a shitload more hallucinogenics.detritus
    • Only pulling ya winkie old chap. we all view suicide differently depending on how we have been affected by it I guess.fadein11
    • Suicide is shit, by the way.
      Don't try it.
      No fucking Ctrl Z.
