Abstract

Two suicides are described in which the victims were transported for 400 m and 16 km (!) hanging from the locomotive's hook coupling. According to the Deutsche Bahn AG, it would be possible for a body caught on a coupling to be dragged for almost 600 km without being discovered. Upon discovery of such a body, the police must search long stretches of the railroad tracks.
