I have not been able to confirm this information, but I was just told that a man committed suicide at the Grand/Milwaukee Blue Line subway station at 502 West Milwaukee Ave. However, CBS is reporting the train struck the man at the CTA Chicago Blue Line station, 800 North Milwaukee Avenue.

At 9:25 p.m., a police evidence technician was called to the scene to photograph the train. The man involved in this incident was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to CTA's website, "service on the Blue Line has been temporarily suspended between Damen and LaSalle due to a medical emergency."

An officer at the scene, said the death was suicide related.

As of 10:22 p.m., police are still investigating and "several body parts" are still on the scene.

According to Chicago Breaking News: "A 40-year-old man (who was hit by a CTA train) was taken in critical condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Quention Curtis."
