Russia. This individual committed suicide by laying on the train tracks, he then got decapitated from an arriving train. In train track suicides, the body experiences extreme trauma due to the train’s speed and mass. Injuries often include severe dismemberment, decapitation, or crushing. The impact causes catastrophic damage to tissues, bones, and organs, sometimes rendering identification challenging. Debris may scatter over a large area, complicating forensic recovery efforts.

Forensic investigations of train track suicides focus on scene analysis, victim identification, and ruling out foul play. Evidence includes CCTV footage, witness statements, and positioning of the body. Autopsies may assess injuries consistent with train impact. Toxicology tests help identify substances affecting behavior, while psychological evaluations explore potential suicidal intent.
