"Bronx deejay Francisco Diego Jr., otherwise known as Tech Trackz, dropped his iPhone on the subway tracks early Saturday..."

"... and leaped down to grab it, but was shocked by the third rail and then struck by the No. 2 train at Wakefield-241st St. station."

“He’s not the type to jump into the subway to get it,” said friend Kevin Atterbury, 16. “He would just go get a new one. That’s why this is so shocking.”

But family members said Diego had ventured onto the tracks in the past.

“He’s done it before, which is why he tried to do it again,” said Diego’s sister Nandy, 19. “But this time it wasn’t successful. I feel like my heart has been ripped out.”
