Metro Investigating Body Found At D.C. Station

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Metro officials are investigating a body found on the tracks of a Metro station in Washington.

Metro temporarily closed the red line's Farragut North station on Saturday after the body was discovered on the tracks.

Officials said in a statement that trains are passing through the station by taking turns sharing one track.

Metro is also providing free shuttle buses at the Farragut North station as well as Metro Center and Dupont Circle, the stations before and after Farragut North, to help get red line riders through the area.
