Video from the CTA station showed a male subject get off a train and sat on a bench on the platform before he fell off, police said.

AN on-duty attendant observed the person fall on video and went to the platform to speak with him. Police said the person appeared intoxicated and said he did not need assistance.

The attendant left the platform to notify CTA Control and when the attendant returned about three minutes later, the person had fallen onto the tracks and made contact with the electrified third rail, police said.

There were no other patrons on the platform at the time. Power was temporarily shut off and the body was removed from the tracks.
