The death of a 63-year-old Smithsonian photo archivist whose body was found on Metro’s train tracks last month has been ruled an accident, according to the medical examiner’s office. Lou Stancari’s body was found on the tracks at the Farragut North station around noon on Jan. 15, apparently having been hit by a Red Line train. An autopsy found that he died from multiple blunt impact injuries, said D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner spokeswoman Beverly Fields. She said the death was ruled an accident, not a suicide or homicide. The medical examiner’s office makes such determinations by sending an investigator to the scene of the death, plus gathering information from law enforcement officers and emergency responders, she said.

Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein declined to comment on the finding other than to say that its transit police are continuing a “thorough investigation” into the death.
