The NJ Transit Police have identified the man who was struck by a train at the Millburn Station last month as a 47-year-old from Jersey City.
Mark Judge died on Nov. 15 when, according to witnesses, he jumped in front of an express train to New York City that was not stopping at the station and had no passengers on it.
It took a month of investigation to identify Judge’s remains.
“Following receipt of numerous leads and tips from the general public, NJ TRANSIT police today have positively identified the trespasser struck and fatally injured by a Morris & Essex Line train on November 15 at the Millburn station,” said John Durso, NJ Transit Spokesman announced Friday. “ “NJ TRANSIT police and personnel express their deepest appreciation to our law enforcement partners and to the public at large for their assistance.”

"The trespasser". Nice.
Nobody ID'ed him for a month. I don't think you're going to get sued, NJ Transit. But by all means keep up the defensive PR, it's so very classy.

I agree the term 'tresspaser" does sound a little harsh ~ but I believe it applies to anyone who is on another's land for an illegal purpose, or at least univited. Possibly a kinder more sensitive word could have been used to describe Mr. Judge. It was very very sad. May Mr. Judge rest in peace. Peace to Mr. Judge's family
