A train operator reported seeing the pair on the northbound side of the tracks just north of Wollaston around 6 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 26, the an MBTA Transit Police spokesperson said.
EMS crews responded and pronounced the duo dead at the scene. Initial investigation suggested they were hit by a train, but that was not be the case.
Instead, it was determined that Granada and Rodriguez intentionally placed their bodies on the tracks and came in contact with the third rail, the spokesperson said.
The incident suspended Red Line service in both directions and shuttle buses were being used to replace service between JFK/UMass and Quincy Center as a result of the investigation.
The scene was cleared hours later and the investigation is ongoing. At this time investigators do not believe foul play to be involved.
