I suppose they’ll eventually announce that it was actually a poopsicle that fell off a jetliner, but the initial claim is that a space rock killed a guy in India:

One dead after ‘meteorite’ crashes to earth in college gardens

If this is verified, it’s an exceedingly rare thing. I can’t think of another incident of a human dying due to a space rock; people undoubtedly died at Tunguska, though it was so remote that no good records of such deaths were made.
