CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A man died Friday night after falling off of a platform at the Kedzie CTA station in Lawndale on the West Side.
The 44-year-old fell off the platform and made contact with the third rail about 11:25 p.m. in the 1900 block of South Kedzie Avenue, authorities said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, Chicago police said. His name hasn’t been released yet.
Pink Line trains had temporarily been suspended between the Loop and Kedzie and had ran as far as Ashland for a “medical emergency,” but have since been running with residual delays, according to CTA’s Twitter account. A CTA spokesperson was unable to provide details on the incident.
Area Four detectives are investigating.
