Migration rethink ‘vital’ after death
Desperate teenager discovered dead on top of Eurostar train

CAMPAIGNERS demanded a “fundamental rethink” of immigration policy yesterday, following the discovery of a dead teenage boy on the roof of a Eurostar train from Calais to Folkestone.

The young man, thought to have been trying to reach Britain from the French port, was found by police at 4.13am on Thursday on the loading bay of the vehicle shuttle service.

It is believed he died in France and his body was then carried through the tunnel before being spotted.
