Too many suicides this week. Glen Ellyn Police think the 56-year-old Glen Ellyn woman struck and killed by an outbound Metra train on April 3 at 1:30 p.m. committed suicide. An eyewitness among other evidence leads Glen Ellyn Deputy Police Chief Bill Holmer to believe the fatality was not an accident. The DuPage County Coroner's Office has not released any additional information and a spokesperson told Patch the office is still waiting on toxicology and pathology reports.
