The pedestrian killed in a train crash Monday has been identified as Jeffrey Samora, 24, of Oceanside, an investigator with the county Medical Examiner''''s Office said.
Samora died Monday at 6:13 p.m., the investigator said, after apparently jumping in front of a southbound Amtrak train going 60 mph at the Carlsbad Village station. His death has been ruled a suicide, the investigator said.
Samora was a 2002 graduate of Guajome Park Academy charter school in Vista, according to his Myspace page. He is survived by his wife, Kambra Webb of Oceanside, the investigator said.
The majority of rail fatalities in San Diego County over the last five years have been suicides, county medical examiner''''s office records show. For a five-year period ending in 2006, the most recent year statistics were available, 48 deaths involved trains, with 30 deemed as suicides and 16 as accidents. In two of the cases, the coroner''''s investigation failed to determine whether the death was a suicide or an accident.
