Default Piccadilly Line Northbound Disruption

I was heading Northbound on the Piccadilly Line this morning at around
00:10hrs.
The train stopped at Holborn and stayed there for 10 minutes before I heard
an announcement amongst people's conversations regarding a passenger action
causing the delay and we may be there for some time.
As I was only travelling to Kings Cross, I left the train and got a
bus/walked the rest of the distance.
Does anybody know what precisely happened to cause this disruption?


If memory serves a person fell on to the tracks. They had apparently
been to a hostelry before hand. No trains were involved but obviously
the power had to go off and the person had to be removed and treated by
the emergency services.

Happens rather a lot at this time of year - unfortunately :-(
