LONDON — A stowaway was found dead
after falling from a jet at the end of an
8,000-mile journey from South Africa to
London — but another survived and was
being treated in hospital, police said Friday.
The victim plunged from the British
Airways plane and onto the roof of a
clothing business in the Richmond area of
southwest London, which is close to
Heathrow Airport.

The plane had traveled more than 11 hours
from Johannesburg and was preparing to
land on Thursday morning.
The pair are the latest examples of
stowaways who travel in the non-
pressurized wheel well of passenger jets,
many of whom do not survive the brutally
cold temperatures and lack of oxygen.

A British Airways spokesman told Britain's
ITV News : "We are working with the
Metropolitan Police and the authorities in
Johannesburg to establish the facts
surrounding this very rare case."
A spokeswoman for London's Metropolitan
Police said that officers had responded to
reports of a "body discovered."
She added: "Officers and the London
Ambulance Service attended and found the
body of a dead man on the roof of a
business premises.

The death is currently
being treated as unexplained. A post-
mortem examination will be held in due
course and inquiries are ongoing to
establish the male's identity."
The survivor, who is believed to be aged in
his late 20s was listed in serious condition
at a hospital.
