Man allegedly fell from a plane on to a building and dies

London witnessed a strange( if not weird) death for the first time. A man allegedly fell off from a plane and died after hitting on a terrace of a building. Going into the details, the two men have reportedly believed to have been clinging to a British Airways flight from Johannesburg to Heathrow.

Later a victim was found on the building of online shop notonthehighstreet.com on Kew Road, Richmond on Thursday. Police said that they were considering the death as 'unexplained' as it is still unclear if the person who fell from the plane and the body they found were same.

The Met Police said it could not confirm if the two cases were linked.In a statement, the force said: "At this time there is no evidence to link the death to the discovery of a stowaway in the undercarriage of a plane at Heathrow Airport; however this is one line of inquiry into identifying the deceased and the circumstances of his death."

On the other hand, British Airways issued a statement "We are working with the Metropolitan Police and the authorities in Johannesburg to establish the facts surrounding this very rare case."

Notonthehighstreet.com where the body was found said that the incident was "unrelated to the business or its team members and added the company was "co-operating with the ongoing police inquiry".
