According to BART spokesperson, Anna Duckworth, the cause is due to "the fatality of a person who was on the trackway."

Starting at 6 a.m., BART reported a delay developing between the West Dublin/Pleasanton and Dublin/Pleasanton stations in both the Dublin/Pleasanton and San Francisco directions.

Twenty minutes later, the agency posted an update on BART's alert Twitter page that service had stopped altogether.

As of 7:30 a.m., the station was closed completely, but BART reported that bus service would be available between Dublin/Pleasanton and West Dublin/Pleasanton, and that there is limited train service from West/Dublin Pleasanton in the San Francisco/Daly City direction.
