According to a Facebook post shared by a netizen, it was not clear whether the victim had accidentally fallen off the platform onto the track or whether it was a suicide. The incident had caused a delay to the train schedule as the police were trying to clean up the track by removing pieces of the dead body. Oh no, RIP.
