RCMP say the BC Coroners Service is conducting the investigation and foul play is not suspected.

Sounds like a sure-fire way of committing suicide.

I got run over three times last week in a matter of two blocks my first day in Makati. All three times on the side walk. Once by a car I jumped in time and went over the hood, then by a van backing out of a parking spot without looking, then by a motorcycle using the sidewalk for a shortcut.... and we think our drivers here in Canada are bad. Apparently cars have the right of way in other parts of the world... even on the side walk.

As long as the train doesn't leave the tracks the ordinary person is relatively safe.

Eagleone Pedestrians DO NOT have the right of way in the Philippines. The driving over there is unadulterated chaos, it's every man for himself�watch and beware. But I guess you already found this out.
