BART has resumed full service in both directions between Walnut Creek and Concord after a person died at the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre station Tuesday morning.
Officials with the Contra Costa County coroner’s office reported to the Pleasant Hill station around noon and have since removed the body, according to BART spokesman Jim Allison.
According to Allison, BART police officers and first responders responded to a person on the tracks near the Pleasant Hill station. The agency first became aware of a person on the tracks around 10:05 a.m. and announced the service interruption around 10:20 a.m.
BART police are investigating the death and do not suspect foul play at this time.
BART trains resumed service between Walnut Creek and Concord on the Antioch line around 11:15 a.m. and maintained that service for around 20 minutes before coroner’s officials arrived, according to Allison.
Hopefully, it’s the ass-grabber.
A suspect is being sought in a series of sexual batteries on the Iron Horse Trail near the intersection of Jones Road and Treat Boulevard in Walnut Creek, the East Bay Regional Park District Police Department said.
Don’t thinks so…sad to say it’s probably suicide. One really has to work at getting to the tracks. RIP poor soul.
If they want to kill themselves let them. It’s just sad that they have to inconvenience thousands of commuters who are now stuck because of the investigation that is caused after a selfish person jumped in front of the train.
