    He walked on to the track from Platform 1, a BTP spokesman said.

    According to reports, the Polish tourist went to find somewhere discreet to go to the toilet but his urine splashed on to the live rail.

    He was said to be a married teacher who was visiting the UK to improve his English.

    A spokesman for London Ambulance Service said a fast response unit and two ambulances were sent to the station but the man died at the scene.

    According to Network Rail, more than 60 people are killed on railway lines each year.

    He was looking for somewhere discreet and managed to urinate on the live rail?!  Surely the least discreet place in a train station is by the tracks!  I wonder why he didn't just use the toilets.
