Police went for a well-being check at the woman’s home at Liberty Village, 415 North York Road, and detectives found the 86-year-old Elmhurst resident who lived there was the same woman who died Friday after she was hit by an inbound No. 52 Metra train near the Elmhurst Station at York and Park.

Police have not released the woman’s name, and they are trying to notify her family members. Elmhurst police are still investigating the incident.
