Daredevil Brian McClellen has passed away following sustaining injuries in a Metro-North train incident. The 21-model and budding actor caught fire when he was electrocuted on top of a train in Greenwich, Connecticut over the weekend.
According to reports from CBS, the train that McClellen was a passenger on was headed to Manhattan when it lost power at the Riverside train station in Greenwich. Crewmembers were working on the roof to try to restore power and found Brian on the top of the train.
He was rushed to Westchester Medical Center where he received several emergency surgeries, but they were unable to revive the Ohio native. The hospital revealed that he had electrical burns covering over 90 percent of his body.
A source revealed to the New York Post that Brian appeared to be intoxicated when he climbed on top of the train.
The star's agent, Ryan Colby, told the news source that the model was supposed to start working on new TV Land series Younger starting next week, where he was set to starring alongside Hilary Duff. He was also getting ready to be featured in Pierce Brosnan's film Urge.
His uncle spoke to The Post saying he was a good kid.
"He's a very good kid," his uncle explained via phone. "He grew up here in Ohio and went to New York with dreams of becoming an actor."
McClellen seemed to be a bit of an adrenaline junky as, according to Heavy, he posted videos to his Facebook account where he was seen doing daredevil stunts. The incident remains under investigation.
