On Monday morning at 6:00am, an MBTA Red Line train operator came across two bodies on the tracks just north of Wollaston Station, in Quincy. The subsequent investigation caused significant delays on the Red Line for several hours while shuttle buses replaced train service until the scene was eventually cleared.
MBTA Transit Police said that the man and woman “intentionally placed their bodies between the outside running rail and third rail.” This caused fatal electrocution. The third rail is a type of power supply used in public transit.
The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office identified the two as Kyler Granada, 20, of South Boston, and Tanairy Rodriguez, 20, of Lowell.
