A body of a man was travelling for 6 hours on a Zurich tram before anyone noticing anything was wrong.

The 64-year-old died while on the tram on Monday. 

His family say they can’t understand how no one raised the alarm. Not even transport staff noticed anything was wrong while the body went through the city. 

The man’s family say they want the story to be known as they hope it will help to make all of us more aware of our fellow humans. His son says people are so focused on themselves and don’t realize what’s going on around them. 

The police are aware and are not treating the death as suspicious.
