DJ Tech Tracks died after attempting to retrieve an iPhone. According to reports, the 22 year old DJ from the Bronx was awaiting the No. 2 train on Saturday when his iPhone slipped out of his hand and fell onto the tracks.
DJ Tracks, whose real name is Francisco Diego Jr., told a token booth clerk that he dropped his phone on the track. But instead of waiting for the subway worker to get the phone, Diego decided to jump on the tracks once a train entered the station. But he jumped on the third rail and was electrocuted. The train then hit Diego as it left the station.
Authorities rushed Diego’s body to Jacobi Medical Center. However, the impact of the train was too severe for him to survive.
Diego was known around the Bronx area as an up-and-coming DJ who hosted parties within the city. Unfortunately, Diego was not the only person killed by a subway train this weekend. On Friday, another man was killed by the No. 2 train as he attempted to cross the tracks.
