Death at MacArthur Park Red Line station
Subway service that was delayed for most of the morning after a man was killed by a Metro subway train at the Westlake/MacArthur Park station returned to normal today. Subways at the station at 662 S. Alvarado St., where an unidentified male either fell or leaped from a platform in front of the train around 8:35 a.m., experienced 12-minute delays until 12:50 p.m., said Luis Inzunza, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The man’s death is still being investigated. "We don’t know if it was a suicide; that’s still under investigation," said MTA spokesman Marc Littman. Service on the westbound track was disrupted as authorities worked to remove the body from beneath the train. (CNS)
