“The Man Who Never Returned”

Dead man rides subway for hours

Urban legend comes to life? No, maybe not THAT, but…well, you get the idea anyway:

It took more than six hours for anyone to realize that a 64-year-old Brooklyn man had died on a New York City subway train. Eugene Reilly, who died of a heart attack, likely got onto a Brooklyn-bound Q train just before 1 a.m. Thursday. He wasn’t found until 7:15 a.m. when a curious commuter touched his shoulder, trying to wake him, the New York Daily News reported.

It brings to mind “Charlie on the MTA” the old Kingston Trio song from back when.
