Case Reference: GC–FIR–003 (Supplemental, Unfiled)
Compiled by: Inspector Tomas Reed
Status: Not Entered into Official Record
Reason: Unidentified deceased / No claimant / Jurisdictional overlap
These individuals were not counted among the fourteen fatalities.
They were removed from the rail bed after clearance operations and logged as “non-reportable remains.”
Estimated Age: 30–45
Location Found: Passenger Platform edge, beneath signal gantry
Condition:
Head severed cleanly at cervical vertebrae
Body largely intact below shoulders
No defensive posture evident
Notable Findings:
Pocket watch recovered (no inscription, high-quality brass)
Single railway ticket fragment folded inside coat lining
Ticket was not validated at any station gate
Observations:
The decapitation was consistent with train speed and angle. However, the body’s position suggests the individual was standing closer to the track than platform markings allow.
Ticket fragment corresponds to a non-public routing code. No such route is listed on civilian schedules.
Disposition:
Classified as “unauthorized presence.”
No effort made to trace ticket origin.
Personal Note:
People don’t buy tickets for places that don’t exist unless they expect to arrive.
Estimated Age: 25–40
Location Found: Between rails, Goods Trains Platform spillover
Condition:
Extensive post-impact trauma
Facial features unrecognizable
Hands intact, no jewelry
Notable Findings:
Inner coat pocket contained a sealed paper slip
Paper undamaged by impact, protected by oilcloth
Contents: handwritten time, location, and initials only
Example:
“06:00 — Hourglass — R.”
No names. No context.
Observations:
The slip does not resemble a ticket, receipt, or official document. It resembles an appointment marker.
No matching reservation exists in public Hourglass Court logs.
Disposition:
Classified as “incidental commuter.”
Paper returned to effects storage, later misplaced.
Personal Note:
Someone expected her somewhere at a precise time.
She did not miss it.
Time missed her.
Estimated Age: 35–55
Location Found: Track drainage channel, downstream of impact zone
Condition:
Lower body destroyed
Upper torso recovered
Head separated but present
Notable Findings:
Distinct blue discoloration around neck and jawline
Pattern inconsistent with post-impact bruising
No ligature present
Observations:
Discoloration resembles pre-mortem oxygen deprivation or chemical exposure rather than trauma-induced cyanosis.
Rail medical officer attributed coloration to “impact pooling.”
Post-mortem toxicology requested and denied.
Reason given:
“No identity. No jurisdiction. No necessity.”
Disposition:
Classified as “non-identifiable remains.”
Cremation authorized without further examination.
Personal Note:
I have seen this color before.
Not on tracks.
On tables.
All three individuals were excluded from casualty totals due to:
Lack of identification
No next-of-kin claim
Absence from validated passenger records
Their deaths were deemed consequential to the primary incident and not subject to independent investigation.
Three people died who were not supposed to be there.
One had a ticket that goes nowhere.
One had an appointment no one admits to scheduling.
One carried the same blue shadow I have now seen twice in this city.
If they were accidents,
they were inconvenient ones.
I was advised not to pursue identification.
I was reminded the case was already closed.
I have complied.
I have not forgotten.
