A person was struck and killed by an MBTA train in Lincoln on the night ​​of August 22 in an apparent suicide that resulted in major delays on the Fitchburg commuter rail line the following morning when the body was discovered.

Asked how it happened, Lincoln Police Chief Kevin Kennedy said that “the person decided — they went in front of the train.” He would not release the victim’s name, home town, or any other information.

Kennedy said the body was found around 5 a.m. on August 23 adjacent to the tracks between the Route 117 and Lincoln Road crossings, though it was later determined that the collision occurred at about 9 p.m. the night before. It was not immediately reported because the conductor “was not aware that the train had hit something,” Kennedy said. “In talking to the MBTA police, it’s not all that uncommon.”

The MBTA commuter rail’s Twitter feed that morning contained several posts alerting commuters to the delay. The first in the series noted that the 402 inbound service (5:25 a.m. from Wachusett) “remains stopped after Lincoln and is approximately two hours late due to police activity on the right of way.” At 7:55 a.m., they tweeted that service was suspended between Waltham and Wachusett and “trains in the area are holding.” One track was eventually reopened and normal service resumed around 10 a.m.

After more than 30 years with the Lincoln Police Department, Police Chief Kevin Kennedy will retire at the end of the year.

Kennedy informed Town Administrator Tim Higgins of his plans to retire as of December 15 in a letter dated July 10. During his 31 years in the department, he rose through the ranks from patrol officer to juvenile officer, inspector/court officer and lieutenant. In 2014 he was named chief upon the retirement of Kevin Mooney.

Kennedy was an early advocate of Fair and Impartial Policing aimed at reducing implicit bias among officers, and he recently led the Lincoln Police Department through a rigorous independent review process resulting in full accreditation by the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission, Higgins noted.

“Kevin has provided steady and compassionate leadership of the department,” Higgins said in an email. “Leading by example, he helped instill a service-oriented police culture. He treats all people fairly and expects the same of his department. At a time when confidence in law enforcement around the country has been shaken, Kevin Kennedy has done everything within his power to earn the trust of the people of Lincoln. He will be missed. His Lincoln family wishes him a happy and healthy retirement.”

“It has been my honor and privilege to serve the people of Lincoln for 31 years. During my tenure, the Town took a chance on me, and I was afforded so many opportunities which furthered my career and personal growth. It was truly my good fortune to have worked alongside some exceptional people not only internally, but externally as well. Town employees, residents, colleagues on various boards and committees, and other law enforcement agencies all contributed to making me who I am today,” Kennedy wrote in his letter.

“The Lincoln community will always have a special place in my heart, I grew up here. I was welcomed and supported by so many residents as soon as I came to town. That has never wavered. The people are extraordinary, and the essence of the town is amazing. I could not have imagined working anywhere else.”
