24th BART. Bunch of cops, stairs closed, something covered in a yellow tarp. Body? What's going on?
Not sure, but this tweet confirms something is up:
Update: Mission Local has more:
A 60 year-old man collapsed on the platform of the 24th Street BART this morning. He was dead by the time that paramedics arrived.
It’s still being determined whether he died of a heart attack, or from complications caused by the fall.

Confirmed. It was the eastern entrance but they were still letting people through. Body was not well covered. Not cool.
There was also a guy breathing heavily, rubbing his face and looking very shaken while being consoled by police (and a woman). I initially thought he was maced by the way he was freaking out and rubbing his face/eyes but he didn’t have cuffs on, so I doubt that. But there was definitely a body at the top of the stairs.
what time was this? I walked by at 7:45 and didn’t notice anything.
I was there around 9:00. Apparently the coroner showed up shortly after that.
this was seriously so disturbing to see this morning. i walked by around 815 or so.
24th st. BART is not near the top of my list of places I would want to die.
big city yall.
