Zackery Nazario cause of death

Norman stated that for decades, transportation authorities have been aware of teenagers riding on the outside of trains. However, they have not made any effort to take preventative measures or restrict access. Furious with the authorities, Norman said: “Don’t get me wrong, my son, he didn’t have to do what he did. But you knew that 10 years ago kids did this so easily. My son died. When are you going to do something?” adding, “Obviously I’m planning to sue.”

According to the New York Post, Norman mentioned that he wanted to discuss possible preventative steps for subway surfing with Mayor Eric Adams. Across the Williamsburg Bridge, Zackery rode with his girlfriend on the roof of a northbound J train. He fell under the train after his head struck a metal beam. According to police, when the teen was struck and fell, he appeared to turn his head back to look at his girlfriend.
