The man, between 25 to 30, was found unresponsive by a train conductor on the southbound inner tracks of the Belmont stop about 3:20 a.m., Chicago police said.

He had sustained major head trauma and was pronounced dead by fire officials at the scene, police said.

Area detectives were conducting a death investigation.

Red, Brown and Purple Express Line trains were running with residual delays due to police activity, CTA said on Twitter.
