A relative of a gay man found badly injured near train tracks in California says his family is angry authorities are looking at the possibility of attempted suicide. “They keep trying to push the narrative that he jumped from the train, but we believe he was attacked and this might’ve been a hate crime,” Austin Sailas told HuffPost on Tuesday. His cousin, 22-year-old Aaron Salazar, is hospitalized in Reno, Nevada, where he’s in a coma. “He has brain injuries, a broken pelvis and a mysterious burn on his crotch,” Sailas said. He’s young, he’s strong and he’s been fighting to wake up, so there’s hope.”Salazar, an economics major at Portland State University, was on an Amtrak train on May 15, traveling from Colorado to Portland.
