A teenager has been found dead on the roof of a Eurotunnel train, police have said.
The body - thought to be that of a migrant trying to reach the UK from Calais - was found by police at 4.13am on Thursday on the loading bay of the vehicle shuttle service.
Investigators believe the man died in France and his body was carried through the tunnel to Folkestone.
A Kent Police spokesman said: "Inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances behind his death."
The death comes as authorities on both sides of the Channel struggle with a growing migrant crisis centred on Calais.
Earlier this week Eurotunnel asked the British and French governments to repay €9.7m it has spent on boosting security.
Chief executive Jaques Gounon warned that the thousands of people fleeing their own countries and concentrated in the Calais area could continue to disrupt traffic and lead to additional security costs.
"Public authorities underestimate the migrant situation," he said, as he revealed Eurotunnel had spent €13m on security measures in the first half of 2015.
Before the request, the UK government had already agreed to pay Eurotunnel €4.7.
Home Secretary Theresa May confirmed a week ago that the British taxpayer was to pay for a "secure zone" on the French side of the tunnel to ensure lorries were free from invasion by migrants.
