January 25 James Wilkinson, 18, was on top of a city-bound train when he came into contact with live wires at Caulfield Station just before 11pm yesterday. Paramedics were unable to reach him immediately out of fear they could be electrocuted too. "Unfortunately, he died at the scene," Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman Susannah Wilson said.
