Japanese authorities are trying to identify the body found inside one of the landing gear compartments on a Delta Airlines plane flight that arrived in Tokyo from New York.
Police said Monday the body of the apparent stowaway, identified only as that of a male with dark skin complexion, was wearing only a long-sleeve plaid shirt and jeans.
Police said a mechanic found the body lying inside the landing gear compartment of the Boeing 777-200 during maintenance after Delta Flight 59 from New York landed at Narita International Airport on Sunday night.
According to the police, the body had no visible injuries but signs of frostbite, and the man might have died of hypothermia during flight.
