The man was a 55-year-old San Francisco resident, according to the medical examiner’s office. The Chronicle reports that the man has been identified as Gordon Toye.
The death prompted the closure of the Glen Park station and power was turned off on the northbound rail line as trains single-tracked through the station on the southbound side, according to BART officials.
The station reopened shortly after 6 p.m.
