Family questions foul play in railroad death
Olmsted Township police and the Cuyahoga County coroner’s office are investigating the death of 25 year old Case Western Reserve University accountant James Kubicek. Officials say it is too early to rule whether the death was an accident suicide or homicide. Kubicek’s family suspects foul play though authorities report no evidence of involvement by others. Kubicek was found tied to the railroad tracks near Berea after his car was found at a nearby apartment complex. His fiancé and colleagues describe him as ambitious religious and conservative.
