Creepy discovery in Hamelin: body found next to train tracks!

On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, a body was discovered next to the train tracks in Hamelin. A track construction worker found the dead man near Marienthaler Strasse and alerted the rescue workers at 11:27 p.m. An emergency doctor, the rescue service, the fire department, the police and the railway emergency manager were quickly called to the scene. All tracks around Hameln train station were immediately closed. Due to the heavy snow, the rescue workers reached the spot, but were only able to determine that the man was dead.

Crime scene investigators launched an investigation into the cause of death and conducted a police postmortem. The deceased man was identified as a 63-year-old. Initial investigations suggest that the man was hit by a train without the train driver noticing the collision. What is striking is that there was no report of a rail accident at this time. The police suspect that the man wanted to take a shortcut over the tracks, which is often done by residents at this point. Suicide and third-party negligence are excluded, such as dewezet.de reported.
