Police identify Dover man struck, killed by Amtrak Downeaster train

ROLLINSFORD — The person who was struck by an Amtrak Downeaster train and died Nov. 4 has been identified as Avram Niebling, 40, of Dover, according to police. Rollinsford police Lt. William Hancock said Nov. 9 there is no indication the death was not an accident.
