A man died after getting stuck at the bottom of an MBTA escalator. Authorities are still investigating.

Steven McCluskey died in March after a Feb. 27 escalator accident at MBTA’s Davis Station. He fell at the bottom of an escalator shortly before 5 a.m., and his clothing became trapped in the machinery. MBTA staff brought the escalator to a stop, and Somerville Fire Department transported him to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he died more than a week later. Footage shows the escalator was not stopped until 5:21 a.m., over 20 minutes after he fell, while several early-morning riders passed by without apparent assistance. Transit Police reported his clothing was tightly lodged, with his shirt constricting his neck and compromising his airway. He regained a pulse after CPR but died March 9. His family described him as stubborn, humorous, and deeply caring.

According to the video, the escalator wasn't stopped until 5:21 a.m. - more than 20 minutes after McCluskey fell. The footage also shows several early-morning T riders passing by McCluskey, most of them seemingly doing nothing to help."

"First responders noted in an MBTA Transit Police report that McCluskey's clothing was "tightly lodged" in the escalator, his shirt constricting his neck and compromising his airway, according to the Globe. He reportedly regained a pulse after multiple rounds of CPR, though he ultimately died March 9."

"In his obituary, McCluskey's family remembered him for his "stubborn spirit, quick sense of humor, and deeply caring heart." A "talented carpenter" and dedicated father of two sons, "he had a way of talking with people for hours, sharing stories, offering advice, and helping however he could,""
