Wait! Was it a man or a woman? Sources seem unreliable.
Haha.
FROM the same source (I don't know how a man became a woman, or a
woman became a man...)

Woman dies after
she was hit by MRT train
A middle-aged woman died in hospital after she was hit by a train
along the MRT tracks of Clementi Station at about 1pm on Friday (20
July), and photos from STOMPer Ronlee show commuters trying to cope
with the disruption of train services.
Police told STOMP they received a call at about 1pm that a person
had been hit by a train.
Civil defence officers extricated her from under a train carriage
and sent her to the National University Hospital. She died at about
2.30pm.
STOMPer Ronlee was at Clementi Station at the time of the incident
and sent these photos to STOMP shortly after it happened.
In an email to STOMP, the 22-year-old Singapore Polytechnic student
gave his account of what could have happened:
"It was 1pm - 1.15pm. I was at Clementi Station waiting for the
train towards Boon Lay when the incident happened.
"Someone fell onto the track...It happened so fast," he said.
"It affected the train service (towards Boon Lay) for about 20
minutes and there was no train service towards Pasir Ris.
"The firefighters arrived at about 1.25pm - 1.35pm and they started
to block the area to prevent people from getting close to the
area.
"When my train arrived, I saw firefighters trying to take out the
person."
The STOMPer suggested that SMRT act fast to improve safety and
upgrade its above-ground stations with more barriers.
"More people are choosing/accidently to die at the MRT...SBS and
SMRT had so many incidents nowadays. Please do something," he
said.
