Person Killed by MBTA Train Identified as West Roxbury Man

The person who was struck and killed by a Red Line train at the JFK MBTA station on Monday has been identified as a 45-year-old man from Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood, according to the Suffolk County DA’s office.

The DA’s office is not releasing the man’s name because officials are not investigating the death as criminal incident.

Emergency officials responded to the station just after 2:30 p.m. for reports of a person stuck under a train. Officials say the man became pinned after he was struck by a train on the Braintree line.

Upon arrival at the scene, a recovery operation was launched in an effort to free the victim. The man was pinned under the inbound train for over an hour. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lengthy delays were reported on the Red Line following the incident. Buses were called in to shuttle passengers from the station.
