The boy, who had fallen and died under the Yerevan-Gyumri train in Armenia’s Gyumri city on Thursday at around 10pm, was approximately 16 or 17 years old.
Forensic expert Libarit Ghugasyan told the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In his words, the young boy’s identity is not yet determined, and no one has come to the morgue up to this point. That is why the police have issued a statement and asked those who have lost loved ones to contact the police.
The train conductor had managed to stop the train solely about 200 meters after the initial impact, and the young boy’s body was torn apart.
An eyewitness to the incident told Armenian News- NEWS.am that the young man was walking on the railway tracks wearing earphones, and he had not heard the train’s signal. The eyewitness added that the train was traveling within the speed limit, at approximately 60 km/hour.
