''Greater London John Doe
This Doe was also found on April 7, 2020. A man walked into Clapham underground station in London, England just after 10 AM. He was captured on CCTV footage walking through the station wearing a dark blue hoodie and black glasses, minutes later he was killed by a train after either falling or jumping onto the train tracks. The train saw the man lying on the tracks but was unfortunately unable to stop in time. He was killed instantly.
CCTV footage of the man found dead on the train tracks
Sources differ as to whether Greater London John Doe fell onto the tracks, or lay in front of the train on purpose. The incident was initially described by newspapers as a “tragic accident”, but it seems to have all the characteristics of suicide. Investigators say that nothing about the death was suspicious, but have not revealed if it was a suicide. John Doe died shortly before the first lockdown in the UK was put in place, and it is speculated that this change could have affected his mental health. Law enforcement attempted to identify him by searching for missing people matching his description, but these efforts have been so far unsuccessful.

The man was 5'7" to 5'9" and 25-35 years old with a thin build, black hair, and a beard. He was wearing blue and gray Nike shoes, a wool hat, gray sweatpants, blue socks with a star pattern, and a blue jacket with two Everlast logos. From a quick google search, it seems that Everlast is a brand of boxing gloves that also sells merchandise. This could indicate an athletic background for the man. The logo also appears to be in Italian colors. The man had a lighter and non-prescription eye drops in his possession along with the clothing he was wearing when he died. He had no form of identification on his body.
Greater London John Doe is reported in one source as being Caucasian, but most other sources say his ethnicity is “unknown”. Law enforcement wants to return Greater London John Doe to his loved ones, but so far no one has come forward to claim him. Given how quickly he was found his fingerprints are likely on file. It’s not been reported if his DNA has been collected or not.''
