A man is found dead inside the landing gear compartment of an Air Arabia aircraft at London Gatwick Airport. The man’s body is discovered in the wheel compartment of the plane after it lands.
Reports identify the flight as an Air Arabia service arriving from Morocco, including references to Tangiers. The Daily Record and The Mirror describe the conditions around the body as “extremely cold,” while the BBC reports that an inquest hears the man dies of extreme cold. The outlets agree on the location, the airline and that the aircraft has just arrived from Morocco, but they differ in how much detail they provide about the inquest process and the specific phrasing of the cause.
While all sources attribute the death to extreme cold, they do not present broader investigative findings in the provided accounts, such as how the man got into the landing gear compartment or any official timeline beyond the flight’s arrival and discovery.
