‘Sleeping’ Man Was Actually Dead on the 5 Train

By Delia Paunescu

The body of Pennsylvania resident Robert Dejesus was discovered by authorities late Saturday night at Dyre Ave., the last stop on the 5 subway train. Scariest of all, a transit source told the Daily News: “It looked like he was sleeping. Then they realized he wasn’t breathing.” According to police, no foul play is suspected and the medical examiner autopsy was inconclusive.
