TORONTO May 9, 2015 -- A Friday murder in an east Toronto home is connected to a man who was struck by a VIA train later that afternoon, Toronto police told CityNews.
Police discovered a deceased female, reported to be a mother of three children, on Danzig Street near Morningside Avenue in Scarborough.
The suspect, believed to be the victim's ex-boyfriend, threw himself in front of a VIA train near the Markham Street overpass at Eglinton Avenue around 4:30 pm.
He was taken to hospital and believed to be in critical condition. Police said he expected to survive his injuries. The investigation into his injuries closed all rail traffic in the area for over three hours and suspended several GO trains headed eastbound, stranding thousands of commuters at Union Station.
