A suspected stowaway who is believed to have fallen from the landing gear of a flight into Heathrow Airport has been found dead in a London garden.
The body - believed to be that of a man - was found in Clapham just before 15:40 BST on Sunday.
The individual is believed to have fallen from a Kenya Airways flight from Nairobi, police said.
A neighbour said the man fell a metre away from a resident who had been sunbathing in the garden.
The man, who did not want to be named, said he heard a "whomp" so he looked out of an upstairs window and saw the body and "blood all over the walls of the garden".
"So I went outside, and it was just then the neighbour came out and he was very shaken," he said.

Can only begin to imagine the sheer desperation, for him to have resorted to this!
Shocking!
Shocking!
1 way of avoiding security @ the airport, but not recommended.
Someone told him that if he fell from the plane and the lord wanted him to live he would be saved,similarly the migrant swimmers in treacherous seas 'Don't worry the lord will give you strength if it's his will you'll make it'
Who's to blame for this mindset?

Reynard there is a special place in hell for people who tell such jokes. May god strike you down from above with some sort of projectile!
On a serious note though, how lucky is the guy sunbathing? Landed 3 ft away or something? A body that's frozen dropping from 3500 ft landing on you is going to kill you, he's a very lucky man. I'd imagine his underpants weren't so lucky.

Family and friends of the deceased have described him as "Down to earth" 
I'm actually disgusted at the dark humour on display 
. The poor guy left a hole in their hearts, and a garden in clapham.
