Police: Fairfield man hit by train committed suicide
Beyer, a resident of Congress Street in Fairfield, died from blunt traumatic head and neck injuries, and the manner of his death was a suicide, a spokeswoman at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Farmington said today.
Metro-North Railroad officials said the engineer and train master reported that they saw Beyer standing on the East Norwalk depot's platform and then jump from the platform in front of the train about 2 p.m. Thursday.
Beyer was hit by a train traveling 60 mph to New Haven. The train was not scheduled to stop at East Norwalk and the speed limit on that section of track is 70 mph, Metro-North officials said.
Beyer's shoulder bag, recovered on the train station platform along with his jacket, contained a letter of termination from his employer. The letter was dated Jan. 10, officials said.
