Sadly, yes. From the Richmond & Twickenham Times:
Hanwell station Elizabeth line incident: Person dies
A person has died after an incident on the Elizabeth line at a busy west London train station.
A casualty on the tracks was reported at Hanwell station at around 1.15pm today (January 10). Officers and London Ambulance Service crews attended, and the person was pronounced dead shortly after. The incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
All lines between London Paddington and Reading have been closed as the incident is being dealt with. Major disruption is expected until 4.30pm.
If you need someone to talk to, Samaritans are available to contact any time day or night on 116 123.
A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: “Officers were called to Hanwell railway station at around 1.15pm today (10 January) following reports of a casualty on the tracks. Paramedics also attended, however sadly a person was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”

My highlighting - hopefully helpful. Chris.

Phew, thank goodness for that! New Year, TG! 
I think perhaps you tempted fate...................
Cancellations to services between Reading and London Paddington
Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident between Ealing Broadway and West Ealing all lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 16:00 10/01.
Fatality at Hanwell by the looks of it. The ultimate unhappy new year for somebody then. Thoughts to friends, family and all involved.
Sadly, we are now ‘in the season’ for such incidents.

No, I haven't lost the plot!
Rather, I'm sharing member ChrisB's view that this sort of problem won't suddenly go away on New Year's Eve:
And the first for 2025....New Thread please!
