GO train service was delayed Monday morning after the body of an elderly man was found on the tracks west of Union Station.

Toronto police Staff Sgt. Susan Thorning said the body was found at Bathurst and Front Sts. around 9 a.m.

Christine Spingola was on the GO train this morning on her way into the city, and she noticed the body on the tracks and alerted security at Union.

“I didn't think it was a person because I thought someone would have noticed it already, but decided to report it anyway as a safety issue,” she said in an email.

Staff Sgt. David Sterling with Traffic Services said it looks like the man was “probably” hit by a train, but couldn’t confirm as he was waiting on the coroner’s report.

Service west of Union Station was affected, and train service on tracks one and two was closed while police investigated.
