A migrant thought to be trying to get to Britain has
been found burnt to death in Cannes - close to where celebrities were promoting their films about Europe's
refugee crisis in the French Riviera resort.
The 'almost unrecognisable body' of the unidentified 30-year-old man was found hidden in a rooftop
electrical unit of a train at Cannes La Bocca station just after 10pm last night.
Three other men ran away after a technician with SNCF,
France's national railway, heard noises in the compartment
and opened it.
The man's body was found close to Cannes La Bocca station shortly after 10pm last
night
Many of the migrants who arrive in Italy are Africans who have paid thousands to people smugglers after being promised a new life in Europe
'All were migrants who had boarded at Ventimiglia in Italy,' said a source close to the case.
'The victim had been electrocuted while trying to
remain hidden. Cause of death was cardiac arrest.
'It is common for migrants to board trains at Ventimiglia as they try to make their way to northern France, and then on to Britain.'

They get across the Mediterranean in often hugely dangerous boats, and then continue their journeys alone.
The evening before the latest tragedy, British star Vanessa Redgrave was on the red carpet at the
Cannes Film Festival after launching her documentary about immigrants called
'Sea Sorrow'.
It focuses on refugee camps in northern France, many of which are full
of desperate young men prepared to take enormous risks to get to England.
The tragedy happened close to the site of the Cannes Film Festival,
just hours after a documentary by Vanessa
Redgrave (centre) about the refugee crisis was
screened
Last Sunday another migrant was found with severely burnt legs in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, close
to France's border with Italy, after climbing on a train roof at Ventimiglia.
In all there have been 12 migrant deaths in the area since 2016, with human rights group saying they have increased as border controls
tighten.
Beyond being electrocuted on trains, migrants have also been killed on busy roads after trying to get aboard lorries.
Ms Redgrave, the Oscar winning 80-year-old actor turned director, said
she wanted Sea Sorrow to highlight the 'horrifying deaths of so
many people who shouldn't have ever had to get into these dreadful boats to try and get to safety.'
In an interview in Cannes this week, Ms Redgrave said:
'I hold our European government-and my own government-to
blame.'
Other films focusing on migrants from war-torn countries at a highly political Cannes this
year include 'Jupiter's Moon', by the Hungarian director Kornel Mundruczo.
It includes a scene in which a Syrian refugee is shot repeatedly by a
policeman dealing with new arrivals.
