ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — A man's body was found early Friday in the wheel well of an American Airlines jet from Miami landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
The body was found about 1 a.m. by an airport worker after passengers had disembarked. The man's identity and cause of death were not immediately known.
A message left for an airport spokesman was not immediately returned Friday.
People have attempted to stow away on flights in the wheel wells of airliners, a practice made particularly dangerous by severe temperature and pressure conditions.
