"Many Photos" - Cambridge University student, 19, dies after falling out of plane on study trip to Madagascar

A Cambridge University student has died after falling out of a plane while on a study trip in Madagascar.

Alana Cutland, 19, fell from the Cessna-style light aircraft while it was above the east African country, about ten minutes after take-off, earlier this month.  

The second-year Biological Natural Sciences student, from Milton Keynes, plunged to her death in the wild Savannah below. 

Police fear that they will never find her body because the location where she fell is remote and filled with carnivorous animals.  

Alana's family say they 'are heartbroken at the loss of our wonderful, beautiful daughter, who lit up every room she walked in to'.

One local report suggested the student had forced open the plane door in front of the horrified pilot and another passenger.

It also claimed that Alana and her parents had several intense and agitated discussions on the phone in the days leading up to her death.  

Alana was thought to be travelling back from a research trip to the remote area of Anjajavy.

She was in the country for a university research trip and one other passenger was in the aircraft with her, along with the pilot.   

Alana's family have asked for privacy following her death. 

Their statement said: 'Our daughter Alana was a bright, independent young woman, who was loved and admired by all those that knew her.

'She was always so kind and supportive to her family and friends, which resulted in her having a very special connection with a wide network of people from all walks of her life, who we know will miss her dearly.

'Alana grasped every opportunity that was offered to her with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure, always seeking to extend her knowledge and experience in the best ways possible.

'She was particularly excited to be embarking on the next stage of her education, on an internship in Madagascar complementing her studies in Natural Sciences.

'Alana was also a talented dancer and embraced the more creative side of her talents with joy and commitment.

'Her thirst for discovering more of the world always ensured she made the most of every second of her action-packed young life.

'We are heartbroken at the loss of our wonderful, beautiful daughter, who lit up every room she walked in to, and made people smile just by being there.'
