Police in Durham, New Hampshire, have confirmed that the woman who was hit and killed Wednesday night by the Amtrak Downeaster train committed suicide.

Police Chief David Kurz in an email that investigators and the state Medical Examiner’s Office are still examining the body in an effort to identify the woman. Once that happens, police will notify her family.

“We’re dealing with a suicide situation,” Kurz told Foster’s Daily Democrat.

The woman was hit by the southbound train around 8:30 p.m. It had left Brunswick at 5:55 p.m. and was heading to Boston when it hit the woman, who was lying on the tracks between Bennett Way and Mill Road in Durham.

Since March, the Downeaster has struck and killed four people in Maine. Three of the four fatalities were determined to be suicides.
