Just what in the hell was this guy thinking.  Texting and standing in
the middle of the tracks.  Obviously he did not have a smart phone to
tell him that a train was coming.  Pinetard, this sounds like something
one of your family members would do... DUH!!!! 


MENLO PARK, Calif.—An executive with the PayPal online payment service
has been struck and killed by a commuter train in Northern California.

San Mateo County coroner's investigators on Sunday identified the
victim as 39-year-old Eric Salvatierra of Palo Alto. 

The San Francisco Chronicle ( http://bit.ly/yCmeRK) says Salvatierra
was killed by a Caltrain on Friday morning in Menlo Park. 

Commuter rail officials say he was standing on the tracks when he was
hit by a northbound train. The death is being investigated. 

Salvatierra was a vice president of online payment service PayPal,
where he's worked for about five years.
