State Medical Examiner Rules Subway Train Death a Suicide

The state medical examiner's office ruled that the death Sunday at the Milford Mill Metro Station was a suicide, said Terry Owens, spokesman for the Maryland Transit Administration.

"The deceased is 24-year-old Brandon Mackey of Baltimore," Owens said.

"We have cameras at the station and cameras on the equipment. The evidence would indicate that he took his own life."

MTA Police got a call at 11:04 a.m. Sunday that someone had been struck and killed by an eastbound train at the station in Pikesville.

Initially, MTA Police and Owens said it appeared to be a suicide, but they couldn't be certain until they got the results of the investigation.

The station that serves MTA Metro Subway trains was closed after the incident and through the evening. Trains went through the station on one track, but did not stop. Meanwhile, MTA buses helped passengers get to their intended station.
