Rail suicide
Rail suicide is deliberate self-harm resulting in death by means of a moving railway vehicle. The 2023 ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for attempted rail suicide is X81.1. The suicide occurs when an approaching train hits a suicidal pedestrian jumping, lying, or wandering on the tracks. Low friction on the tracks makes it impossible for the train to stop quickly enough. This type of suicide may cause trauma to the train driver.
