A man's body has been found in the undercarriage of a plane that flew from Gambia to Britain.
The unidentified body of a black male was found on a jet operated by TUI Airways - a British charter airline - that had flown from Gambia's capital of Banjul to London's Gatwick Airport, Gambia's government spokesman said in a statement on Tuesday.
Sussex Police said the body was discovered at Gatwick around 4am on 7 December.
In a statement, the force said:
"Police were called after the body of a man was found in the undercarriage of an aircraft at Gatwick Airport, arriving from Gambia, at about 4am on December 7.
"Officers are investigating and a report will be prepared for HM Coroner."
However, this is not the first time - Stowaways on planes and ships have happened before.
In 2015, Dutch authorities discovered a body in the landing gear of a plane from Africa in Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.
In November, three stowaways were found on a ship's rudder in the Canary Islands after an 11-day ocean voyage from Nigeria.
In 2019, Stowaway reportedly fell from a Heathrow plane and landed next to sunbather.
The body was found on the undercarriage of a Kenya Airways flight that left from Nairobi.
