In Manhattan, deep in the subway tunnels, a college student was trying to off himself.
He donned track worker clothes and possessed cyanide pellets and he was carrying bottles of water.
His intentions were for his body not to be found.
Homeland Security is detaining him and interviewing him along with the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI. They ain't playin!!
The 20-year-old Pace University sophomore told police he wanted to find a discreet alcove, mix the cyanide pellets with water and ingest it. "He did not want to be found," said Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne, the NYPD's top spokesman. "He had no ID on him. He was looking for some isolated place in the system." The pellets, commercially sold and typically used as a pesticide or to clean jewelry, can create toxic fumes when heated. The suspect did have five flares in his backpack -- along with two liters of water and a quart can of cyanide - but police said the flares could not produce the heat needed to cause any damage. "This was not a terrorist plot," Browne said. "We believe it was part of a plan for an individual to kill himself alone."
