The 57-year-old climbed up an "elevation" that led to train tracks in Sint-Pieter's Station in Gent for "unknown reasons", a local prosecutor's office said.

The incident happened after the side's Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg match against Belgian side Gent on Thursday.

The man was taken to hospital that evening where he was later pronounced dead.

A spokesperson from East Flanders' prosecution office called it an "unfortunate accident".

West Ham and Gent drew 1-1.
