Investigations - Dead man on Düsseldorf subway line poses a mystery
A dead body discovered on a subway line in Düsseldorf one day before Christmas Eve has puzzled the police. It is now clear that it was the body of a 69-year-old man from Düsseldorf, a police spokesman said on Wednesday.
However, it is still unclear how he died. The man could have been hit by a subway train, but also by a car and thrown into the track bed just before the tunnel entrance. "We've already looked at a lot of trains."
On Saturday morning, a driver on the U73 line was able to stop his train in time before the lifeless body, which had numerous injuries. The police are investigating the hit-and-run.

The police in Düsseldorf remain determined to solve the mystery surrounding the man's death, despite the complex circumstances. The anniversary of a saint's eve added an eerie atmosphere to the already intriguing case. Although criminality is a concern in North Rhine-Westphalia, the police are focusing their efforts solely on this particular incident. The sequence of events leading up to the accident and the identity of the driver involved in the hit-and-run remain key elements of the puzzle the police are trying to piece together.
