[Mr. Silverback]

The reporters probably should have stayed away from the word "mangled" because it implies the damage to his body came from the flight. I suspect that's not the case.

Here's a photo taken from inside a 737's main gear well. Looks like there's plenty of room. He probably fell because a turn had moved his unconscious or dead body from where he was holed up (probably about the spot this photo was taken from) onto the wheel itself.
