Proulx
Although initial reports listed the cause of death as ?suspicious,? police later ruled out any possibility of foul play in the death of Robert Proulx, 60.

Police received a 911 call Saturday morning and immediately went to the railway tracks. They found a man lying on the tracks under a pedestrian crosswalk.

The man was rushed to hospital, but was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy has been conducted.

Officers spent much of Saturday interviewing residents who lived in the area where the body was found.

Police blocked off the area near the railroad tracks prohibiting members of the public from getting anywhere near the scene.
