Guy, 26, killed after jumping in front of train to rescue his iPhone




A man was tragically killed by an oncoming train after he jumped in front of it in order to retrieve his fallen iPhone, according to a statement released by the New York Police Department. The man, who was identified as a Bronx DJ, dropped his iPhone on the subway tracks, but was electrocuted after he was too impatient to wait for a worker to retrieve it for him, police said.

Francisco Diego, Jr. notified a tollbooth clerk that he had dropped the smart phone shortly before 1:10 am, police said. She told him to wait while she would help him retrieve it. However, the impatient man jumped into the tracks when a train arrived on the scene. Diego positioned himself in between two cars and tried to grab his phone, only to electrocute himself on the third track, police said.
