Diabetic Man Missing After Being Kicked Off Train
Police said there is no train station or running water at the crossing, which is about two miles from the nearest road, at an elevation of about 8,000 feet.
Amtrak personnel told police dispatchers that Sims was drunk and unruly.
The Sims family said Sims is diabetic and was going into shock.
classy. seriously, even if the man was drunk, why drop him there? you might as well just toss him from the moving train. why bother to stop?

Holy. Shit. Can you say ‘lawsuit’?
I’d have to suspect that someone else has this guy’s cell phone somehow (perhaps left on the train?) because it is hard to fathom making it far when help, or even water, is miles away and you’re in diabetic shock. Sheez.

the story said his cell was found 180 miles from where they let him out. uhoh. surely that makes no sense. but then nothing in this story does.
