A tragic incident occurred on a New York City subway train, resulting in the death of a 30-year-old passenger. The individual was reportedly put in a headlock during an outburst on the train, which ultimately led to their untimely passing.

According to sources, authorities are currently conducting an investigation and are awaiting the results of the autopsy before making a decision on whether to press charges against the younger man.

Neely was unable to express anything despite moving his arms. According to the individual, he was only able to move his arms.

There was a sudden halt in his movement. According to sources, he had exhausted all of his energy.

According to reports, a straphanger approached Neely from behind and proceeded to restrain him in a chokehold for a duration of 15 minutes.

According to Vasquez, none of the individuals present at the scene believed that the individual was at risk of losing their life. According to witnesses, it was initially believed that he had either fainted or simply run out of oxygen.

Following the application of a chokehold, Neely became unconscious and despite the efforts of EMS workers at the station, they were unable to resuscitate him.
According to Juan Vazquez, he had conflicting emotions regarding the deadly incident. He stated that Neely had not assaulted anyone on the train prior to being subdued.

He added that if the police had arrived within five minutes, the incident would not have occurred. If that were to happen, it would indeed be a remarkable feat of heroism. The user stated that the situation is complicated.
