A man was found dead on the T tracks near the Port Authority’s South Hill Village station Saturday morning, police said.
The man was identified by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office as Mark Stephen Setar, 56, of Canonsburg.
Setar was pronounced dead at the scene, apparently struck by a light rail train and then discovered by the driver of the next train to come along, according to Allegheny County police Lt. Kenneth Ruckel.
The man’s body was found shortly before 6 a.m., Ruckel said.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding how the man ended up on the tracks.
Port Authority and county police are reviewing video surveillance from the area, he said.
T commuter rail traffic was shut down for a time while the initial investigation was underway. Shortly before 11 a.m., the Port Authority said rail traffic had been restored but routes were delayed by about an hour.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call county police at 1-833-255-8477. Callers can remain anonymous.
Update: Light rail service has returned to normal operation, however, delays of over an hour can be expected. Thank you for your patience as we work to get the rail cars back in service and on schedule. https://t.co/6ck9EJ01tX
