A Moscow metro train driver died Thursday night of a heart attack after a young woman threw herself under his train, the city prosecutor’s office told the Interfax news agency.

Around 20:15 a woman, born 1983, threw herself under a metro train in an attempt to commit suicide, at the Vykhino metro station. The young woman survived and was hospitalized with numerous injuries, a spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office said.

The 46-year-old driver, however, suffered a heart attack and died half an hour later, the agency reported.

Passengers throwing themselves under trains to commit suicide is a fairly regular occurrence in Moscow’s metro.

what charges could be pressed against the woman in this situation?

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I think it is illegal, at least here, to try to take any life, which includes your own.

 

[gray]

is attempted suicide a crime punishable by death?

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

No. :LOL: It is attempted murder.

Just kidding, I think it is a manslaughter charge, but some states have different policies.

You get a jail term over here for attempting suicide I believe.

Well, I know for a fact that catholics say it's forbidden to kill anyone, and that's including yourself. It's also not right to take matters into your own hands, only God is allowed to take your life? Anyway, I don't really follow them there, but I do believe this woman should be punished. She IS responsible for the death of that driver after all. If you want to commit suicide, then don't harm other people with it. Take pills or something FFS. And do make sure you're going to die. It looks quite ridiculous to fail at killing yourself, you know.

I agree completely with what you said, Seven, but the problem in the trial might be how on earth you could prove that the woman is directly responsible for the death of the driver.

As for suicide; in Holland it's not a crime but unintentional survivors are obliged to enter into extremely intensive therapy.

Woman jumps on to track.
Train driver gets heart attack.
Train driver dies.

Hardly a coincidence eh?Besides I doubt she'd have the cheek to deny the manslaughter charge.

She'll probably try to kill herself again in prison anyway.

A seemingly related follow-up of events isn't evidence, that was my point. It can be as logical as 1,2,3 but that doesn't mean it'll stand in court.

Anyway you're right. That one's a gonner.

It won't be a valid piece of evidence of course,but it'll no doubt help greatly in the prosecution proving the case BRD(Beyond Reasonable Doubt).
