PETALING JAYA:
Police have found no criminal elements in the death of a Taiwanese man who was run over by a train after falling onto the tracks at the Pusat Bandar Puchong LRT station on Tuesday.

Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the case remains classified as sudden death, Harian Metro reported.

“There is no indication of any criminal activity. From the start, it has been treated as a sudden death case.

“We have the evidence showing that he fell,” Hussein told a press conference at the Selangor police headquarters today.

The body of the man, in his 60s, was sent to the forensic department of Sultan Idris Shah Hospital for a post-mortem.

In February, a blind elderly man died when he was struck by a train after losing his balance and falling onto the tracks at the Titiwangsa LRT station.

Prasarana Malaysia Bhd later said it planned to install platform sensors at LRT stations to enhance passenger safety, particularly for people with disabilities.

The company also said it would begin installing platform screen doors at LRT stations, similar to those used in MRT stations.
