A migrant found dead near the tracks of the Channel Tunnel

A migrant has been found dead near the tracks of the Channel Tunnel, after apparently trying to cross from France to the UK.

The Eritrean man, who was in his 20s, is believed to have been hit by a freight train at about 1am this morning.

Eurotunnel has said it "deplored" the accident, and a spokesman added: "It's another very regrettable incident which serves to highlight the risks associated with crossing the Channel illegally."

He is the 13th migrant to die trying to get to Britain from France since late June - and the second person to die along the route in 24 hours.
