Toronto police say a 15-year-old boy who was critically injured after striking his head while climbing a moving TTC subway died in hospital last week.
Police confirm the boy, whose identity has not been released, died on Wednesday, May 3.
He suffered what police called a “catastrophic” head injury after attempting to climb a moving train at Warden Station in Scarborough on Monday, May 1 at around 6:15 p.m.
Police said that while the train was in motion, the teen opened the door leading to the adjoining car and climbed up between the two.
He then struck his head on an unknown object and sustained critical injuries that later proved fatal.
Police have not revealed why the teen, who was with his sister and girlfriend at the time, decided to climb on top of the moving train.
Police previously said there was no indication he was trying to flee from anyone.
