The area is not pressurised and there is plenty of room in the aft part of it outboard of the ADG (RAT) Like volume says, nothing in there that could lead to those kind of injuries.
There is an hole/opening between the nose gear bulkheads (both sides) leading into the air conditioning bays so it is feasible he could have been crushed by the retracting nose gear and got through the opening on pure adrenalin alone before passing away, but it would be very tight.
