JOHANNESBURG- An unidentified man died on top of a Metrorail train at the Eatonside station, Sebokeng after being electrocuted while allegedly train surfing.


The incident happened on Saturday morning around 11:00 where the man was allegedly burnt by +3000 volt cables. After the train came to a standstill, many people went closer and took pictures of his charred remains.


Gauteng Metrorai's Lillian Mofokeng confirmed the incident and that a single railway line was used to move other trains and avoid any more disruptions to train operations.


Sebokeng police spokesperson Sergeant Thembeka Koago, however, could not confirm the incident occur, saying she was not aware of it.


Images of the victim’s charred body with his leg sticking up have been circulating around social media since Saturday morning. Mofokeng said train surfing was an illegal act done mostly by young people. According to her, train surfing was mostly prevalent in Gauteng West and South.

Sorry for his family, but he was a dumb fukker.

How many times has this been discussed? Surely people can see the stupid in that stunt?

The gene pool is a little cleaner to today so an win win situation to be honest.
 
All the other threads have shocking headlines but this one doesn't???
 
I don't think the author of that headline knows what tragic means.
 
''Tragic end''? Sounds more like an inevitability. Nothing tragic about someone doing stupid sh*t and inevitably winning a stupid prize.
