It was a shocking and unsettling moment when news broke that a man had been found dead on the train tracks in Lufkin. Initially, many wondered if the man had been hit by a train, but the details surrounding his death are still unclear.
Investigation Underway
The body of the man was discovered on Sunday morning, lying on the railroad tracks between Abney and Angelina Streets. Lufkin Police have launched an investigation into the cause of death, but no official information has been released yet.
Out of respect for the family, the Lufkin Police have withheld the man’s identity until they can notify his loved ones. This precaution is understandable, as no one would want to learn of a family member’s passing through the news.
Jackie Zimmerman, a public relations specialist for the Lufkin Police Department, confirmed to the media that further details are expected to be released soon. The department aims to provide updates later today.
Public’s Help Requested
As part of the investigation, the Lufkin Police are asking for the public’s help in understanding what led to the man’s death. If anyone has any information regarding the incident or any suspicious circumstances, they are encouraged to come forward.
