An American man may have committed suicide by standing in front of a train at a railway crossing on Jalan Merdeka in Bandung, West Java, on Monday night, according to reports.

SCTV reported that police suspected the man, identified as RR and whose passport was issued in California, appeared to have killed himself because he ignored warning shouts from passersby that a train was approaching.

The body was dragged for at least 10 meters.

Bandung Police said they would notify the US Embassy about the incident.
