Man falls to death from train<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A passenger riding on the roof of an electric
\ntrain fell to his death -- after reportedly being electrocuted --
\nyesterday in front of Pancasila University in Depok, south of
\nhere.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old victim, Suryadi, was a resident of Kampung
\nBaru, Depok Pancoran Mas in Depok.<\/p>\n
Rohadi, the victim's friend, said the incident happened at
\n2:30 p.m. while Suryadi was on his way home aboard the Jabotabek
\ntrain plying the Bogor-Kota route.<\/p>\n
\"We were sitting on the train's roof as it was overcrowded
\ninside. As the train approached the university, Suryadi touched
\nthe train's cable with his hands. He appeared to fainted
\nafterward from the (electric) shock he received.\"<\/p>\n
Rohadi said he managed to grab hold of Suryadi's body and
\nprevent him from falling for about half an hour. But he could not
\nhold him any longer when the train stopped in front of the
\nuniversity.<\/p>\n
\"Suryadi's body slipped out of my hands. The incident took
\nplace so fast that I could only stare at the falling body and
\nshout for help.\"<\/p>\n
Suryadi died of severe head wounds, Rohadi said.<\/p>\n
He said that he and Suryadi climbed onto the train's roof
\nalong with other friends after working as garbage cleaners at
\nTebet's public work agency office in South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Minah, the victim's grandmother, said that she was claiming
\nthe body from Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital's morgue as
\nSuryadi's parents were too distraught.<\/p>\n
She believed Suryadi, the second son from seven children, was
\nled by God to Heaven as he died during a Holy month while he was
\nfasting. (04)<\/p>",
