I think the term of art is "accident de personne." I certainly heard it a few times myself.

The SNCF can be blamed for a lot of things, including subpar service quality, but I don't think they ever tried hiding the nature of those accidents.

They don't hide them. Apparently every parisienne is aware of the fact that their subways are suicide targets and they just gracefully ignore them.

I was astounded when I learnt about them initially to say the least.
