British Police are trying to identify a frozen body which fell three-and-a-half thousand feet from a plane and landed in a garden in south London.

It's thought a man tried to hide in the wheel compartment at Nairobi airport and died during the nine-hour flight.

A homeowner narrowly avoided being hit by the stowaway.

It apparently landed a metre from where a man was sleeping in his garden.

The stunned man called police to the scene.

Sky's Charlotte Lomas has spoken to his neighbours in Clapham.

They told her they had been in their home at the time with their two children, when they heard the impact of the frozen body landing.

The local residents went outside to see what happened, and witnessed the aftermath.

They told the reporter that they tried to help console their neighbour and aid police inquiries.

According to the Irish Independent, the incident occurred on Offerton Road on Sunday at 3.39pm.

The Kenya Airways flight had been preparing to land at Heathrow Airport.
