ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK — An autopsy performed on the body of a man found in the wheel well of a plane that landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport from London's Heathrow Airport was inconclusive, the medical examiner's office said Wednesday.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, remained unidentified — no identification was found on his body.

Port Authority police found the body on British Airways Flight 177 after the aircraft landed at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

John Lampl, a British Airways spokesman, said Wednesday that company officials were awaiting the autopsy results to determine whether the man boarded the plane in London or at an earlier stop.

Last week, the body of a man in his 20s was found in the wheel well of a flight to Kennedy Airport from Montego Bay, Jamaica."
