Body of 'train-surfer' found at station
Police say the Werribee man was train surfing.
It is believed the man got onto the roof of the train at Newport railway station, in Melbourne's west, just after 1am (AEST) this morning.
The body was then seen by passengers at Flinders Street station in Melbourne's CBD around 8.30am (AEST) today.
“He was electrocuted and we believe he was train surfing,” a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
While the matter was still being investigated, Connex spokesman John Rees confirmed a male was found electrocuted on the roof of the train.
“Apparently he had his hand on the pantograph – the construction on top of the train which comes into contact with the overhead power,” Mr Rees said.
The man's body was recovered by members of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade after power to the train line was switched off.
Police say they will now prepare a report for the coroner.
