The body of a stowaway was found inside a passenger jet that landed at Heathrow on Friday.
The Mail Online quotes British Airways as saying the corpse was inside the landing gear bay of a Boeing 747 after it arrived at the London airport from Cape Town.
The Metropolitan Police said the body was a man who was not a member of the jumbo jet’s crew or a passenger on the flight.
Airports Company South Africa, which runs the airport, said it was carrying out an investigation.
