A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been found with gunshot wounds at North Woolwich police station.
The officer, who hasn't been formally identified, was found on Sunday May 13th at around 2:30pm.
The officer was of police constable rank, working within the Aviation Security Command at London City Airport.
A report is being prepared for the coroner by officers from the Directorate of Professional Standards.
Next of kin have been informed.
An inquest has been opened into the death of a teenager, who fell from the 17th floor of a block of flats in Woolwich after police officers arrived to arrest her.
Shanice-Paris Goff, 18, had been convicted in connection with three street robberies in London in 2009, and was out on licence after serving part of her sentence.
Scotland Yard said that officers were attempting to recall her to prison, when she fell from the window of the flat on the 10th of April.
The hearing at Southwark Coroner's Court heard that Ms Goff had gone into a bedroom to "get changed" before she fell. But Detective Sergeant Sue Thomas, from the Metropolitan Police's directorate of professional standards, said that Miss Goff had not been arrested by the time of her death.
She added that there was no reason to believe a serious crime had taken place.
Coroner Andrew Harris adjourned the inquest, pending the results of an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. The incident has also been referred to the Metropolitan Police's directorate of professional standards.

A post mortem examination is due to be carried out today on an 18-year-old woman who fell to her death from the 17th floor of a block of flats in Woolwich.
Scotland Yard says she fell after officers arrived at her flat to make an arrest.
The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, is investigating.
Police officers who arrived at the block of flats where a woman fell to her death from the17th floor were attempting to recall a convicted thief to prison.
Scotland Yard faces an inquiry from the police watchdog after the incident.
It's understood that the thief had been convicted in connection with three street robberies in London in 2009, and was out on licence after serving part of their sentence, Scotland Yard said.
Carpenter Michael Mulkerrins, 28, who lives two floors directly below the woman, said his partner heard a row from inside the flat a few minutes before the incident.
– Carpenter Michael MulkerrinsHe heard an argument, he heard shouting and bawling. About 10 minutes later she was out of the window. He didn't see the girl but he did see her on the floor. I've seen him quite a lot by himself. It could be his flat and she was staying over.
He said he spoke to the man when they passed in the corridor, and described him as "an alright chap". The man often had a skateboard, he said, and had lived in the block for around four months.
A representative from the IPCC also arrived at the scene in Woolwich.
On the 17th floor, two officers were standing guard outside flat 66, where forensic teams were examining the home.
A neighbour said the man was in his late teens or early twenties and had been living at the flat for about six months. He said the woman was his girlfriend and regularly stayed there.
Scotland Yard said she fell from her bedroom window before officers arrested a man on suspicion of assisting an offender.
