A body was found in the landing gear bay of an airplane that arrived at Tokyo’s Narita Airport Sunday, the airport announced.
The dead man was not carrying a passport or personal belongings, airport police said.
The man was of dark complexion and dressed in blue jeans and a red and dark blue long-sleeved shirt, police told CNN.
Police said he possibly froze to death and suffered a shortage of oxygen at high altitude, but did not provide a definite cause of death pending an autopsy.
A mechanic found the body in the landing gear bay, which was impossible to enter from the cabin, the airport said.
The Boeing 777, Delta Flight 59, which departed New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at 12:53 p.m. ET Saturday arrived at Narita at 4:46 p.m. local time Sunday, the airport said.

What a job!
temps dip to -58 in there besides the lack of oxygen at 30,000ft. this has happened before- in 2003 with the same result. bh he was not carrying a bomb.
what happened to security? how in the world did he get in there with noone knowing about it? what does body screening accomplish if someone can get to the plane itself?
did you READ? He could have gotten there from the “cabin”
It only said he was not carrying a passport or personal belongings. They may not be telling us anything about a bomb – yet.
#4 – put your glasses on. it says “which was IMPOSSIBLE to enter from the cabin”.
