“West Palm Beach police are looking to locate any family members of a homeless man who died two months ago after he was struck and killed by a commuter train.
Just after 9:30 p.m. May 28, Clinton McCray, 64, was trespassing on the CSX railroad tracksnear Southern Boulevard when he was struck by the northbound Tri-Rail train. McCray died at the scene and the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a suicide. Exhaustive efforts to locate McCray’s next-of-kin only identified an aunt from Riviera Beach who died years ago. McCray drifted between West Palm Beach and nearby cities.
The only photo available of McCray is from a driver license from the early 2000’s. The case is being treated as an indigent burial by the medical examiner unless a relative can be located. Anyone who might know of family members should call Detective Gregory McDonald at 561-822-1935.”
