Perhaps he was wearing headphones. This sort of needless accident happens with regularity among pedestrians and joggers.

More likely, he was wearing “Ear Buds” and didn’t hear or feel anything, if the train was moving fast.

RIP, Doc.

It is surmised that he wore them, as a pair of earphones was collected from near the site. But that increases the mystification that Doc would jog on an active rail line AND mask out the sound of a potentially fatal train hit.

This whole incident is really fishy. I am not at all a conspiratorial theorist, and Occam’s Razor indicates that this was indeed a tragic accident. Still, I don’t even jog on a road unless I’m facing traffic, and I know darn well NEVER to jog on any rail lines unless I know 100% that the line is inactive.

Again, his family is my first thought. Growing up without a dad is going to be hard for his children. But the whole situation is troubling.

Those committing suicide have been known to walk on active tracks with headphones blaring. It happened outside of Northern Virginia back in the 90’s.

“Perhaps he was wearing headphones”

Man, the supposed most intelligent of the beasts, has risen to such a high level of intelligence that we completely remove one of our senses necessary for survival. What’s next, going for a jog with duct tape over our eyes?
