Chicago doctor notes frail man found dead after railroad strike
George Sir, 72, a retired VA employee, was hospitalized October 15 and died after walking to tracks and lying on them. Doctors and police say he acted alone, climbing an embankment to reach the rail and was struck by a North Western train around 11 47 p m. His doctors question the assembly of events and note prior medical issues but see no clear crisis.
