The disruption began as emergency services responded to the scene and worked to remove the body, a process requiring the presence of a health delegate. While the identity of the victim has not been released, the incident has prompted a temporary halt to rail service impacting commuters in the region. Investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, and normal operations are expected to resume once the area is cleared and authorities complete their work.
