An unidentified man was found dead on the railway tracks between Sancoale and Vasco on Tuesday, prompting an investigation by the Vasco Railway Police. Authorities suspect the individual may have been struck by a train while attempting to cross the tracks.
The body has been sent for identification and post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. Police have registered a case of unnatural death and are appealing to the public for any information that could help identify the deceased.
While preliminary indications point to an accidental mishap, officials have not ruled out other possibilities pending the results of the autopsy. The incident has once again raised concerns over the dangers of crossing railway tracks at non-designated points.
