The man who wasn't part of the crew or passenger on the flight, is believed to have been seen the night before, scaling the fence at the Cape Town International Airport before heading towards the BA flight which was about to take off.
Here's what a spokeswoman from Airports Company South Africa(which runs the airport) had to say.
Quote
'Last night at approximately 8.40pm a person was detected scaling the perimeter fence at Cape Town International Airport (CTIA).
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.
Airports Company South Africa is concerned about the loss of life and thus views this incident in the utmost serious light. A full investigation will be undertaken.'

Only God knows what he had in mind. So sad. May his soul rest in peace.
