FULL TITLE: Girl, 16, found dead on train tracks next to her best friend, 18, was 'in a dark place' after break-up with her girlfriend
Two teenagers have been found dead side-by-side on train tracks after one of the girls was 'in a dark place' following a recent break up with her long-time girlfriend.
Arielle Troutman, 16, and Hannah Rigley, 18, were found dead beneath a train on the edge of the McAlpine Creek Greenway in Charlotte, North Carolina early on Sunday morning.
The train driver had seen them apparently sleeping on the track, sounded his bell and pulled his emergency brake, but could not stop the train in time, and they were found dead beneath it.
But an autopsy is still pending, with authorities questioning whether the girls actually died of drugs overdoses or sudden death syndrome before they were hit.
Arielle's father, Jamie Troutman, has told the Charlotte Observer that he has yet to hear the cause of death from the police or the Mecklenburg Medical Examiner’s Office.
Yet he told the paper he is certain that his daughter, whom he described as 'goth-y', had been struggling with a recent break up.

sudden death syndrome???
Somehow I don’t believe they were sleeping.
“Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) is an umbrella term used for the many different causes of cardiac arrest in young people. CRY provides medical information on the most common causes of unexpected sudden cardiac death in the young (aged 35 and under). These conditions include thickening or abnormal structure of the heart muscle and irregularities of the electrical impulses that upset the natural rhythm of the heart.”
But two at once sounds pretty ridiculous.
Yep. Healthy, wholesome, normal, and natural.
OMG Hannah is sooooo pretty (was).. Weird how the title of this article doesn’t seem to care about the 18 year old.
Thanks.
Goths.

All the young girls love Alice.
Lesbianism and the promotion of a culture of death. These are the times that try men’s souls.
When I see those stupid things in people’s noses, I just want to grab and tug it, and ask “Hey - does this still seem like a good idea?”
Ah.

Sounds like the 18 year old survived. A better headline might have been:
Teenaged Girls found dead on train tracks, one was ‘in a dark place’ after break-up with her girlfriend
That's a pretty accurate description of what happens when a train runs over someone.
At some point they will look at text messages, chats, emails and figure out what actually happened.
I just have zero patience for “teenage angst”. Get over your pathetic sniveling selves already. You’re just not that important. You didn’t invent love or hate and you’re not the first one to experience a little disappointment. Stick around... your little problems will look pretty small, and sooner than you think.
I feel insulted by that fact and i don’t know her from Eve.
Spot on.
homosexuality....goths...drugs...promiscuity.....
it all comes down to the Bible and the 10 commandments and down to everything our great grandparents believed...you know, those awful, white, Christian narrow minded people who pulled civilization thru some mighty tough times...depression and war and famine...
their ideas were not so cockamamie afterall...
