personal effects


Explanation:
http://www.answers.com/topic/personal-effects
personal effects = Privately owned items, such as keys, an identification card, or a wallet or watch, that are regularly worn or carried on one's person.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/personal effec...
personal effects n. an expression often found in wills ("I leave my personal effects to my niece, Susannah") personal effects (things) include clothes, cosmetics, and items of adornment. This is not the same as "personalty" which means all tangible property which is not real property, money or investments. (See: personalty)

personal effects


Explanation:
the reason the tem "belongings" doesn't sound right is because it refers to whatever that person owns. in this case, it's only what the person was carrying on him
