Police mentioned the initial suspicion that Indonesian Table Paratenist Athlete Dian David Michael Jacobs had fallen unconscious from jumping from the train and possibly falling.

Dian David Michael Jacobs was found unconscious on the edge of the Gambir-Juanda railway line (KA) KM 4+700. Until the examination of the team of doctors he was declared dead.

"Perhaps, once again the initial suspicion, maybe he took the train. Because the train wants to move towards the city for cleaning. Maybe he thought it was the train he was going to ride, so he got on," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin in his statement, Saturday, April 29.

"Then when he found out (the train) was wrong once he entered it turned out to be wrong, empty, the possibility of jumping down," he continued.

In addition, from the CCTV footage examination, it was suspected that David Jacobs had taken the wrong train getting stronger. Because, at 20.28 WIB he was seen on the platform.

Then, two minutes later he was found lying on the edge of the rail 500 meters from the starting point he was standing on the platform.

At that time there was a train stopping, at that time on the platform there was a train that was stopped from Surabaya and only entered Gambir, now 2 minutes later, at that time the victim was found at a distance of 500 meters from Gambir Station. If you walk there, it feels like 500 meters 2 minutes it's impossible, yes, within 2 minutes he walked there it's impossible," he said.

Then, Komarudin said that based on the train ticket owned by the victim, it had a Solo destination. Meanwhile, the location of the victim's body was found to be the opposite direction, namely towards Jakarta City.

"Initial suspicion, when viewed from the direction of the train, the person concerned has a train ticket at 20.40 to Solo, while the last position (victim) was found (on the rail line) towards the city, the opposite direction," he said.

So, it is suspected that the victim panicked because of the wrong train and then jumped down, still needed further investigation.

"Is the person concerned at the beginning of the wrong train, continue to panic, want to jump or what, we are still investigating this," said Komaruddin.
