“We are working with Heathrow to fully understand the circumstances of the collision and are supporting our colleague’s family at this very sad time.”
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called shortly before 5am on June 13.
“A bus, used to transport passengers, collided with a man in his 60s,” the force said in a statement. “London Ambulance Service and London Air Ambulance attended the scene.
“The man, aged in his 60s, was taken to hospital in a critical condition where he died on June 15.
