Missing Brit Tourist Found Dead on Top of Metra Train Tuesday Afternoon

CHICAGO, IL — A dead body was found on top of a Metra Electric Line train inside the Kensington Metra yard at 123rd Street and South Indiana Avenue in West Pullman Tuesday afternoon has been identified as missing British tourist Addy Owolana.

Ademola “Addy” Owolana, 26, had been missing since early Sunday. He was last seen leaving the Low Key club, a reggae night club at 11627 S. Michigan Ave. Police and relatives had been searching for him for the last two days. A citizen of the United Kingdom, he was in the Chicago area to visit family in Plainfield.

Owolana was drunk when he left the club, according to an ABC 7 Chicago report.

One of his relatives, Sheriff Akinoso, said he became aggressive at the club and demanded his car keys, but he would not hand them over because Owolana can’t legally drive in the United States and he had been drinking.

... He says when Owolana could not get the car keys, he jogged off east on 117th Street and has not been seen since.

The body was found by a Metra employee around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to Metra. The Chicago Fire Department responded to the scene for a possible electrocution, and power was shut down to the train lines so the body could be retrieved.

The Electric Line train was out of service and in the rail yard at the time.

It appears the young man was electrocuted on top of the train. Though the train itself was decommissioned and not powered, the lines overhead were powered.
