I have just come across the following sentence on The Sun:

A neighbour said: “I heard a whomp so I went to look out the window. At first I thought it was a tramp asleep. He had all his clothes on and everything.”

I checked all the possible dictionary entries for these two words, yet I cannot make head or tail of it. Could someone please explain to me what it means here? T
