People jumping in front of train

A neighnour’s husband killed himself by throwing himself under a train a few years ago. This was extremely traumatic, particularly for his wife: it was totally unexpected, and she couldn’t view the body due to the extent of the injuries.

About 15 years ago, I arrived on my quay at Lausanne train station just after a suicide. A dedicated team of CFF workers were removing the pieces in separate bags… I can’t imagine the lingering trauma for all involved…

Suicide is the highest death cause among young people in Switzerland. Truly concerning, especially when you see the waiting list for psychiatrist and such…

Somebody on the native-German reddit relayed his encounter with a „jumper“ (in front of a train) a while ago.

I think he is a conductor.

It was pretty horrific - but probably still no match for seeing the real thing.

I hope everybody involved in such an incident finds peace. Either in this world or the next.
