A person died Saturday at Park Avenue Station after he fell into the pit and made contact with the electrified third rail, based on MBTA Transit Police.
The person, who police stated seemed to be impaired or “under the influence of some intoxicant,” was unsteady on his toes and standing on a southbound platform round midday when he “stumbled” onto the tracks, based on police.
He was pronounced useless on account of the contact with the electrified rail, police stated.
