Anaheim Metrolink Death May Have Been Suicide

ANAHEIM (CBS) — A woman fatally struck by a Metrolink train in Anaheim may have committed suicide, police said Saturday.

The woman was struck near East Sycamore street about 5:30 p.m. Friday, according to Anaheim police Sgt. Frank Pinela. The victim's name was not immediately available.

At least one witness reported seeing the woman lay on the tracks in front of Metrolink train No. 604.

Friday's victim was the third person to die on Metrolink tracks in Orange County this month, according to the Orange County Register.

A young man reportedly stepped in front of a Metrolink train in Dana Point earlier this month in another apparent suicide.
