A man was struck by a Long Island Rail Road train and killed in Forest Hills Sunday morning, MTA officials say.

The man, identified as 28-year-old Stefan White from Richmond Hill, was hit around 5:14 a.m. on Dec. 16 by a Penn Station-bound train on the Babylon branch near the Forest Hills Station.

MTA police said the incident does not appear to be accidental or criminal in nature, and could possibly be a suicide.

All service was suspended on this line for about an hour, with limited Manhattan bound service beginning just after 7 a.m. that bypassed Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, and Woodside stations. Full service resumed just before 10 a.m.
