T identifies man killed on Orange Line tracks

By Sarah Kneezle, Globe correspondent

The MBTA today identified the man killed Monday when he was struck by an Orange Line train as William Mufkodauz, 33, of Quincy.

T officials say that he was walking along the tracks south of the Green Street station in Jamaica Plain when he was struck by a northbound train, shutting down service for more than two hours.

It was not known why Mufkodauz was walking along the tracks, which are powered by a high-voltage third rail, said T spokesman Joe Pesaturo. He said the man's injuries were consistent with being struck by the train and coming into contact with the third rail.
