London: British police said Monday that officers were trying to identify a man they believe fell to his death from beneath a Kenya Airways plane about to land at Heathrow Airport.

London's Metropolitan Police said officers were called on Sunday after the discovery of the suspected stowaway's body in a residential garden in Clapham in the southwest of the capital.

"Officers are working to establish the identity of a man believed to have fallen from the landing gear compartment of an aeroplane," the force said in a statement.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious. Enquiries are underway to establish the full circumstances," it added, noting a post-mortem exam would be carried out "in due course".

A bag, water and some food was found in the landing gear compartment once it had landed at Heathrow, according to the Met. "Officers will be liaising with the airline and international authorities," it said.
