A man who boarded a Metrorail train in Montgomery County on Monday was found dead on the same train almost five hours later, Metro said Tuesday night.
It was not clear when the man died, but Metro said that preliminary investigation indicated that he likely died of natural causes.
The man boarded an inbound train at the Twinbrook station on the Red Line about 10:15 a.m. Monday, according to preliminary investigation, Metro said. The train went to Silver Spring and then back, ending its run at the Shady Grove station just before noon.
The train was taken into the rail yard there. The man was spotted in the train at 2:55 p.m. as the train was being readied to leave the yard for afternoon service.
