Default Pedestrian LRT Fatality today (Old thread bumped for update)

Quote:
As a result of the inquiries of the first responding officers
and the information from numerous witnesses on the platform,
we now know that the disturbance led to the death of a 17
year old male. There were between 100-150 commuters on the
platform about to start their journey home.

The exact details of the disturbance and the events that led
to this death are becoming clearer; however there is much
information still to evaluate. The preliminary analysis is
the disturbance resulted in the male being pushed from the
platform against an approaching LRT train. This male fell
against the side of the first carriage before falling into
the gap between it and the next carriage.
