"The body of Kai Andrew Blears Walker, 28, from Borth, near Aberystwyth, was discovered on Tuesday morning.
British Transport Police were called to the scene at Borth Capel Soar crossing shortly before 0930 BST. An inquest has been opened and adjourned"
That's only about 5 minutes walk from here. They don't even know yet if he was hit by a train. Mysterious.

Pro I was speaking to someone yesterday who knew him very well and she ruled out suicide. It happened in a peculiar spot. You'd have to walk along the line for 100 metres or so to get to where it happened and there is just nothing there to go to. It's very odd.

Pro How very sad, so young x
SeasideMan
Pro It really is tragic.
yeah real tragic he was my brother
still not sure what happened to him maybe one day someone will talk
SeasideMan
Pro My condolences on your loss. Your brother seems to have been very well liked.
he was liked loved n now so so missed. kai's mummy georgie.please someone tell me how or why. please help me
SeasideMan
Pro Georgie, I'm sure the truth will come out. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this.
Wow! Did hear something like that, but did not immediately link it with where you are...I always think of you in relation to Aberystwyth...Very Sad discovery!
SeasideMan
Pro Apparently no train driver reported a collision so they still, it seems, don't know what happened.
malakeas
Pro That is so sad when someone so young dies. At least the family has his body (if that is any comfort).
Is that your dog in the photo? What a great shot!
SeasideMan
Pro Yes, that's my Dan in the picture :-)
catsInVienna
Oh that is sad, such a young man.
SeasideMan
Pro I agree. I hope they find out what happened.
catsInVienna
Yes it is for his family a hard time!
catsInVienna
I like the reflections in the water. Dan seems to be very playful. That's good, he's still young.
SeasideMan
Pro He loves that ball almost much as he loves eating!
catsInVienna
Is it a tennis ball or a ball special for dogs? If a pet loves food it is health. My Sando loves also food. Emily loves to eat but she eats not too much, she is slim, Sando is too fat.
SeasideMan
Pro It's a rubber ball, I think especially for dogs.
catsInVienna
They like rubber balls!

If someone is hit by a train I would think there is no mistaking what has happened.
We live close to railway line, unfortunately this happens all too often, mostly people taking short cuts over the lines. We do have electric trains on our line.
It is just so sad.
SeasideMan
Pro I would have thought that if he looked like he'd been hit by a train that it would have been reported that way.
News like this always affects everyone in a small community. I adore your dog's pic ... two of my favorite things dogs and ocean! Darn, again I'm not signed in for some reason!
SeasideMan
Pro Is that because you're normally on the American part of the site? I had to log in to leave a comment on your blog.
this is my friend who died. he would never have committed suicide. he was a great friend and we are all still in shock.
SeasideMan
Pro I'm very sorry for your loss.

We have holidayed in Wales several times ... often walking along the cliff path... one year the bodies of a middle-aged couple were found. A mystery but the nature of the crime pointed towards IRA .. it was thought they may have come across something. Their description matched our descriptions ... haven't been back since ... not sure where the cliff is, we started out from St David .... [not that this has anything to do with anything whatsoever!!]
SeasideMan
Pro There seem to be lots of these mysteries every year.
ohtralala
Forgot to say - my reason for writing !! Dan looks wonderful xx

Nice photo of the dog and reflective water.
Sad to hear about this tragic and mysterious death, I note that the report says that his body was found near the railway line not on it. If he had been hit, it would be obvious I think 
He has been hit according to the British Transport Police. How can someone not hear or feel a train coming? Locals, please explain.
SeasideMan
Pro Thanks, I hadn't heard that news. Do you have a link to those details please, as the page I gave above appears to have not been updated.
Hi
It was the first report that the BBC published online.
They mentioned his injuries were consistent to that of being struck by a train.
SeasideMan
Pro OK, thanks.
Here is some more info for you.

Do you guys have any more news? This is an awful time for us with not knowing whats going on and not being able to ask the family.
Any help would be much appreciated.
SeasideMan
Pro Sorry, I don't know anything else. If I do, I'll post it.
