Janet Elizabeth Tennekoon died on Dec. 12

The state medical examiner's office has identified the woman who died a week ago after being struck by a light rail train in Baltimore County, police said Monday.

Janet Elizabeth Tennekoon, 66, of the unit-block of Nightingale Way in Timonium, died on Dec. 12 after she was struck by a northbound train on the Central Maryland corridor, just north of Lutherville, police said.

The medical examiner has not yet determined the cause and manner of death, police said.

The woman was struck around 7:15 a.m. on the tracks and pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Maryland Transit Administration, which operates the light rail trains. The spot where Tennekoon was hit is not near a light rail stop, officials said.
