Eyewitnesses in London saw horrifying scenes: a dead man fell from a plane into a garden.
Now the police have released a phantom image.
Update October 17, 2019
: His body fell from the sky in London in July.
His lifeless body was frozen and banged next to a man who was lying in the garden.
He had fallen from the landing gear of an airplane.
The police in London have now reconstructed and published a picture of the man.
Investigators are doing everything they can to determine the man's identity.
So far without success.
"This man has family somewhere that needs to know what happened to their loved one," South Central Command Unit Detective Sergeant Paul Graves said in a statement.
It is certain that the man fell as a stowaway from a "Kenyan Airways" plane on June 30, 2019 at 3:39 p.m. in a garden south of London.
The plane from Nairobi was on its approach to Heathrow Airport.
Terrible scenes in London: stowaway crashes as a "block of ice" from the plane
First report from July 2, 2019:
London – Tragic incident in London: A stowaway fell out of a plane straight into a garden in the British capital.
According to eyewitnesses, his frozen body fell just next to a man who was sunbathing.
Refugee hid as a stowaway
The stowaway had hidden in the landing gear of a Kenya Airways machine, as Scotland Yard announced on Monday evening, and had already fallen on Sunday afternoon when landing at Heathrow Airport.
Police later discovered a bag, water and food in the landing gear system.
Eyewitnesses: "The body was a block of ice"
According to eyewitnesses, the man's body was "a block of ice".
The stowaway landed about a meter next to a man sunning himself in his garden in south London, a neighbor told the British PA news agency.

The stowaway flew almost nine hours and 7000 kilometers
According to Kenya Airways, the plane with the stowaway flew almost 7,000 kilometers in almost nine hours.
It has happened several times that stowaways have fallen out of planes.
Many of them freeze to death in the plane or fall victim to the lack of oxygen at high altitude.
Not the first tragic case of stowaways on planes
An African man hiding in a machine was found dead on a sidewalk in London in 2012.
In 2015, a dead person fell on the roof of a shop in the capital on approach to Heathrow.
The major airport is one of the most important hubs worldwide.
The arrest of Carola Rackete, the German captain of the "Sea Watch 3", is currently making headlines.
Despite the ban imposed by Italian authorities, the captain headed for Lampedusa to rescue migrants.
