Police are investigating the death of an Angolan man who became unwell when security guards attempted to deport him on a flight from Heathrow.

The 46-year-old man was under escort by three civilian guards on BA Flight 77 preparing for departure from Heathrow airport to Luanda in Angola.

Ambulance and police were called to the flight just before 8.30pm on Tuesday. The man was taken to Hillingdon hospital, west London, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The guards are understood to have been working for G4S, a private firm contracted to assist with deportations for the Home Office.

A police spokesman said: "We know the identity of the deceased but await formal identification and confirmation that next of kin have been informed. A postmortem examination will be arranged in due course. Officers from Heathrow CID are investigating the death.

Yep. Escorted by a PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY to carry out the duties of the federal government. As if private prisons, mercenaries, and military contractors weren't bad enough...

1. They were hired by the UK government, not the US one.
