WELLINGTON ? Preliminary toxicology tests found no drugs or alcohol in the body of a Sumner County teen who was struck by a train, a sheriff’s investigator said Friday.

The toxicology results in the death of Jake Allen showed “absolutely nothing abnormal,” sheriff’s Detective Jeff Hawkins said.

Allen, 19, was found dead by a train crew early on July 5 after he was struck by a train at a crossing a few miles east of Argonia and a few miles south of his farm home.

Hawkins said there has been “absolutely no determination as to the manner of this man’s death.”

Allen was a top student and athlete at Argonia High School, where he graduated in May. He was homecoming king and class valedictorian.

The sheriff’s department has not said how Allen died, and has declined to comment on reports from unnamed sources that he had been tied to the railroad tracks. Investigators have declined to comment directly on those reports.

Hawkins also disputed reports about Allen’s clothing. “He was fully clothed” when his body was struck, Hawkins said, and there was nothing abnormal about the clothing.

No one has been arrested and people are cooperating with the investigation, Hawkins said.

Sumner County Sheriff Gerald Gilkey on Friday called the case “one of the most bizarre” his department has dealt with but he declined to elaborate.

He also accused media of “feeding off rumors” about the death, which he said created more rumors.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, railroad investigators and other agencies have helped with the investigation, Hawkins said.

Investigators have conducted dozens of interviews, Gilkey said, but detectives are “still trying to track down people to talk to.”
