The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office yesterday identified 15-year-old Ash He as the Palo Alto High School student who was struck and killed by a Caltrain on March 4.

The victim was nonbinary, the coroner said.

The death has resulted in a period of mourning and grief at the Palo Alto Unified School District.

“As we move forward together, let us honor our lost student by taking care of ourselves and each other. Let us remember that in both and joy and sorrow, we are one community,” board member Shana Segal said at a meeting on Tuesday.
