Somebody messed up

Recently in Springfield, Missouri they found a severed human arm along a railroad track. No body was found, and nobody went to a hospital seeking medical attention. After a while, they finally identified the victim. He was a guy who committed suicide in Montana by walking in front of a train. Apparently the arm stayed on the train until it reached Springfield. Sounds like somebody should have figured out something was wrong before that.

Rigor made it hold on, until the rigor relaxed? O.O

I have no doubt they noticed the arm was missing, but that wouldn't be unusual if the body had been out overnight.

At least the arm had sense enough to jump off the train before it got to Illinois. Illinois dems don't like arms.

I don't see how anyone messed up. Someone could easily step in front of a train unseen, and the body may not have been discovered for some time. Trains go long ways without ever stopping, and the arm could have been lodged in a location not easily seen.

The family of a Darwin Award reciepient in the small town near here who passed about 10 waiting cars on his motorcycle to weave through the crossing arms not quite far enough ahead of a south bound CSX freight about 25 years back recieved his foot and lower calf from a switchyard in southern Indiana a few days after volunteers here had picked up pieces of him for about a mile past the crossing where he did his bug on the windshield shtick.

Another Darwin Award nominee was in Germany years ago. He was zooming down a dark road at night on his motorcycle doing about 100 mph(they figured). He came up on a convoy of M1 tanks stopped in the road. They had just pulled onto the public road and were getting lined up to convoy home. He saw the end tank, leaned his bike over to go around it, then leaned back to get back in the right lane where he embedded himself into the front end of the second tank. They were picking parts of him out of the tank for a long time.
