Death Investigation:
On Friday March 28,
2014 at approximately 6:47p.m., the Lincoln Police investigated the
death of a Lincoln man, Thomas Pegram (58), who was killed after
being struck by a southbound Amtrak train. The incident, still under
investigation, occurred approximately 250 feet south of the Keokuk
Street crossing. This area of the rail road tracks is not a
designated area for pedestrians to cross.
The preliminary
investigation indicates that Pegram was laying on the rail road
tracks prior to being struck. It is unknown whether this incident
was intentional, if Pegram suffered from medical conditions or if
alcohol or drugs contributed to his death.
