Man Found Dead At Riverhead Train Station: Cops

RIVERHEAD, NY — A man was found dead at the Riverhead Long Island Rail Road Station Tuesday night, police said.

According to Riverhead Town Police, it does not appear that a train was involved and no foul play is suspected.

According to MTA media representative Aaron Donovan, the 42-year old man was found on the platform about 10:37 p.m. Donovan also said no train was involved in his death. MTA Police are investigating but said there does not appear to be foul play involved; the man apparently died of "natural causes," Donovan said, adding that it's early in the investigation.

The initial suspicion was that the man, who has not been named, may have been hit by a train but after a train was inspected, "that appears to have been unfounded," Donovan said. One train experienced a slight delay due to that investigation but all service is currently running normally.
