Officials say a man who was fatally struck on an active runway at Denver International Airport died by suicide. The city and county medical examiner identifies the man as 41-year-old Michael Mott. According to officials, Mott breaches the airport’s perimeter late Friday by jumping an approximately 8-foot fence with barbed wire and reaches an active runway before being hit by a departing Frontier Airlines aircraft. Multiple outlets report that airport chief executive Phillip Washington said only a brief interval—about two minutes—passed between the runway breach and the collision. The Washington Times and NBC News both report that airport officials and the Denver medical examiner announced the identification and circumstances on Tuesday. The Guardian similarly reports that the medical examiner rules the death a suicide and describes the sequence of events leading to the man being struck. The accounts focus on the identification of Mott, the method and timing of the breach, and the medical examiner’s determination, with no additional details provided in the excerpts about charges or broader impacts to flights.
