BILOXI, Miss. (AP) - Authorities say a Biloxi, Mississippi man
killed early yesterday by a train was lying unresponsive on the
tracks when the freight train approached.
Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove identified the victim as
33-year-old Matthew Felder.
Felder was from Humble, Texas, but had been living nearby.
Hargrove said he had ruled out suicide and said he did not
believe it was intentional.
CSX Railroad workers notified the Biloxi Police Department at
1:48 a.m. Saturday.
Hargrove said workers on the westbound train saw the body on the
tracks and started whistles and bells and tried to stop the train.
Hargrove said Felder died of blunt-force trauma and a toxicology
test will be performed.
