SHAH ALAM, Jan 29 — South Klang police today said there was no criminal element in the case of a foreigner who died after being hit by a train near the Klang Komuter Station, Jalan Besar, Taman Sri Istana, here yesterday morning.
District police chief Cha Hoong Fong said an autopsy was conducted on the body of the 45-year-old man at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang yesterday morning.
“The cause of death was injuries caused by being hit by a train and there were no criminal elements. The South Klang Police Headquarters has opened a sudden death probe paper for further investigations,” Cha said in a statement today.
Earlier, Cha said he received a call about the incident from the train conductor, who said a man had been hit at the Klang Komuter Station at 7.22am.
The conductor said while the train was en route from Port Klang to Tanjung Malim, he heard a loud noise at Km34.734 between Teluk Pulai and Klang.
“Subsequently, there was a gas leak in the train system, which caused it to stop. Upon checking, the complainant found the body of a man under the fourth carriage and immediately contacted police,” he said.
Cha said investigations found the deceased fully clothed and his right leg severed.
Earlier, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd said in a statement that one person had died while four others were slightly hurt after trespassing on its tracks between Teluk Pulai and Klang yesterday.
The train was delayed by more than an hour after it collided with five male trespassers at Km34.734.
