Japanese authorities said they believed the man had been out drinking with co-workers until around 8.30pm on Wednesday night.He had hoped to catch the 9.38 train to Saga but had failed to get aboard.
The police are now reportedly investigating whether or not he fell onto the tracks as a result of alcohol.
