Never use the track for walk , you are not aware of the train timings. It is not safe. So many such incidents take place you hear of it and repeat the same.
What else we can say ’Destiny".
When you are a public place never use earphones because you mind will be completely into it and never know nor hear what’s happening around.
How sad? His craze for hearing the music killed him. The friends might never forget this tragic incident.
