Don't know if we're seeing different versions of the same story due to IP differences, but mine includes:

It is believed the dead man could be a person who was spotted scaling the fence at Cape Town International Airport on Wednesday night before heading towards a BA flight getting ready to take off.

Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), which runs the airport, said it was carrying out an investigation.

An ACSA spokesman said: "The airport immediately responded and, as a security patrol officer attempted to apprehend the man, he ran in the direction of a British Airways aircraft already in its holding pattern ready for take-off.

"For safety reasons the security officer could not approach the aircraft. A search of the airfield was immediately conducted but the person was not found.

"British Airways, in addition to various other parties, were notified. Further sweeps were conducted of the runway and the broader airfield.

"This morning, reports from London's Heathrow Airport confirmed that a stowaway was found on board a British Airways aircraft. The person was found dead.
which is what I attempted to summarize.
