Stowaway plunges to death from plane in residential street under Heathrow flight path A stowaway fell to his death from an aeroplane flying into Heathrow and landed on the car parked in a residential street near Heathrow Airport, police said today. The man, thought to be in his 30s, who has not been identified, was discovered below the airport flightpath in Portman Avenue, Mortlake, around 8am yesterday. He had suffered multiple injuries. No one else was injured in the incident. A police spokesman said: "We were called to reports of a dead body found in the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene. We are still waiting on the post mortem results and an identification. One line of inquiry is that he was a possible stowaway on a plane. Mortlake is in the flight path to Heathrow. A postmortem examination will be carried out later this week.
