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.

“At first, the police asked us to vacate the platform and we had to go to the ground floor. There was a dead body at the opposite train tracks and the police said the victim may have fallen off the train,” the netizen said.  

As of 10am, the body has been removed and LRT’s services have resumed as normal.
