A stowaway died after falling from the landing gear compartment of an airplane and plunging into a garden in south London, authorities said.
Metropolitan Police discovered the body when they were called to a home in Clapham on Sunday.
Police said the man was in the undercarriage of an inbound Kenya Airways flight to Heathrow Airport. A bag, water and some food were found in the compartment once the plane landed.
The man was not identified. An autopsy is planned.
The airline called the death "unfortunate" and said it was cooperating with British and Kenyan authorities.

This was not the first incident of a stowaway plunging to the streets of London as a plane lowered its landing gear. In September 2012, Jose Matada, 30, from Mozambique died after falling from the undercarriage of a Heathrow-bound flight from Angola.
